Big milestone for me as I finally crossed $100K income today! It took 10 years + 4 more post-MBA, but I feel like I’m safely middle-class now. Maybe homeownership will be in reach in 5-10 years if prices stabilize 😅

Congrats. I’m 30 years old and just started making $80K, compared to most people on this app, I feel so behind. But I’m happily celebrating your success!

Facebook 1- No offense taken (as another PwCer here, not sure why you said that but anyways). If money makes you happy, good for you but don’t apply your happiness criteria on others. My first job paid me $18K, right after my undergrad 18 years ago and now I make a lot more than that but my happiness quotient is same.

Nice work, I finally crossed $100k at age 32 once I started using my clearance. Hoping to break $250k before 40 if I stick with government contracting.
