[quote=Anonymous]I work in software and earn $1M+.  Base is $300K and the rest is bonus and stock grants.

I grew up in the DC housing projects. My single mom got me into the better know high schools in the city as Eastern HS was my home school.  Went to average state school majoring in math and computer science.

Worked as a civilian for the DOD the summer before college and learned about a program which got college paid for with 3 year post college work commitment.  DOD paid for grad school at a average private DC university.  Moved to DOD contractor and then to the west coast at a software company because of a former colleague connection I had there.

Worked my way up and moved to another tech company after 10 years.  I had both coding and managerial experience.

I got an amazing offer at a PRE-IOP company that I took back to my then-current company.  They were loosing good people left and right so my then-current company matched it.  Before this four year package expired (and my comp. dropped to <$500K), I went shopping for a new job and stretched out my high earnings another four years.
