[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While i don't think everyone is making $500k, $200k is pretty run of the mill for people in late 30s and 40s with DC-area education.

I mean, OP -- you make $150k in government, where the benefits alone are probably worth $30k-$50k more than what you'd get in the private sector.  So it's not like you're particularly far off these salaries, so is it really that hard to conceptualize that someone is making $200k in private sector at your age?  [/quote]

200 isn’t run of the mill for someone in their 30s[/quote]

I said "run of the mill for people in late 30s and 40s with DC-area education".  As in, a top college degree and more typically, a masters degree.  Yes, most people 15 years out of a masters degree are making $200k, give or take in DC.  [/quote]

I highly doubt that [/quote]

Yeah, PP is spewing typical DCUM BS.

A $200K individual salary in the District puts you in the top 8% of all income earners, so it’s really only “run of the mill” in PP’s delusional mind.[/quote]

That 8% stat likely  includes students, interns, 22 year olds, semi retirees, and part timers. Around 30 percent of dc has a masters degree so yeah, I’d say $200k, being in the top 8% of earners in dc, literally translates to around the average income of a full time working person with a graduate degree in their 40s.

You are clueless [/quote]
