The first year I made over 100,000 United States dollars in one year, I was 22

With the exception of one year when I did a startup that failed, I have made over 100,000 United States dollars per year every year of my adult life since I was 22

Prior to that, it took me 2 years of professional software engineering to get up to the point where I made a six figure salary.

1.5 years, my first job out of grad school was 50k in Boston (doesn’t go far there), then I was poached for a similar job for 100k.

PwC3 has a point so I’ll share how I got there. Pretty simple, started at a junior level job doing DoD contract work, applied to a big tech company, and got the job. The company I’m at now values it’s engineers pretty highly, and it shows decently in compensation. $100k base, and bonus+stock puts me at $120k. In big tech this is probably on the lower end though😂

I am interviewing for a Strategy leadership role at a SaaS company. A bit rusty on interviews so crowdsourcing from senior folks here, what are best practices or good examples of certain behavioral questions.

1. What is your weakness? I can talk at length about strengths but unclear what weakness to state so as to not mess up my chances.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? This question is tough because there aren't very many levels above me so cannot say in an EVP role.
