Medical specialist, 5th year big law associate, high finance, 2-3years post MBA at MBB consulting - those are the four paths I know tons of late 20/early 30 people making 250k+

Did you go to a top school or tailgate state? [/quote]

The pool of people making 250k+ is still exceedingly small. It may seem a bit bigger because odds are you live almost within that rarefied circle and such jobs will concentrate you to key markets in key cities where much of the income is eaten up by very high COL.

DH pulls in 300k but he's in his early 40s and it took him 20 years to get to this level, through both hard work and some luck. He's in the corporate world and has a quite senior role.

By the way, I am an Ivy graduate and I've seen the average incomes of graduates of my fine Ivy and it's well below 250k. Some of the most successful people I know are tailgate U graduates and they were phenomenal at sales or started their own businesses.

if you work in tech, it seems everyone is making 250k after age 30 - starting salaries at Microsoft for PM's and Devs is 120-130 at age 21/22. [/quote]
Mouth that would necessitate moving up to a director level?  Most programmers don't have the chops to be that level of management unless they get an MBA. [/quote]

At MICROSOFT. Good lord you all have ridiculously high aspirations. You are equating the *average* with working as a developer for top top top tech company. &lt;5% of software development grads will be going to work for companies on caliber with Microsoft, Facebook, etc. Give me a break![/quote]

Did you go to Arizona State or something?

Most people I know are working at Google, Facebook Amazon etc. They all make 200k+[/quote]

Hah, I am the LMC Ivy grad. Working as govt scientist. Yes I know many people who work at Microsoft and Google, but we don't discuss salaries. That's where an UMC background is handy, because your oldest friends from childhood and maybe family members, will talk more frankly about money -- but the folks I grew up largely work as nurses or sales for a rural hardware company.
