Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

Considering the median annual salary for 25-34 year olds is less than half what you’re making ($49.5k, https://www.bls.gov/news.release/wkyeng.t03.htm) I’d say you’re doing very well full stop

Yea. There a higher paying jobs out there but not by a whole lot. I’m in Texas making $150k. Some might even make more than me. But generally me and you are like top 5%.
I will say our 6-figure salaries are quickly becoming Monopoly money with current inflation and cost of living increases tho. Breaking 6-figures doesn’t mean what it did in the 2000s anymore. I’m certainly not ballin on any level, mediocre apartment that costs $2000/month 👻, can’t afford a car/refuse to pay $60k for something that should cost $30k 💀, groceries are now $200/wk 💀 etc

Who are you trying to get respect from? I feel sorry you felt the need to ask this
Fr. Seems like it’s the high earners that feel a need to justify their lives on here on a daily basis by putting others down. Sad to see
120k for a single guy puts you in the upper middle class in Texas. I'd say you are doing well lol, don't let the hardos on fishbowl tell you otherwise.
Agreed. - make 200K TC in TX, single 26YO
“Yes” - from a 25 YO guy in Texas
Yes, not just for a 25 yo, in general
Depends, are you stress free and enjoying life?

The real respectable question
Honestly, that’s quite low. Even for Texas given the inflation rate. What type of consulting do you do? I’d recommend going forward with a PhD to increase your value. At your age I was sitting at $425k TC and that was just barely enough. Get your money up not your funny up.

Is that even a question. Anything less than 127.5K is a joke.
Me at 27 with an 86k salary: 😬
RIGHT!!!!! Smh.
Yes you can live happily with that. Don’t compare yourself with others. The only person that you need to compare yourself is previous you
With your state income tax you’re OK. That’s practically 200 in NYC
💪?
I’d say so but maybe I’m a loser
What are you trying to get from this forum? It’s always a biased population who would answer this question. Is 125k a lot? It’s a good number. But there are many many ppl who make more or less at your age.
No respect from me based on your salary but good luck for you!
Im actually confused on which comments are sarcasm and serious hah
Good enough. People 2x in their pay down the road anyways
Clearly everything is bigger in Texas even your salary 😂
