Fair enough! Guess it depends where you are.

Probably around 150-200k is a lot of money now. It's crazy to think how low 100k is in today's world. It's still quite a bit of money, but with the rising costs of everything it feels so low

Id also say about $150k,

$100k is decently comfortable but def don’t feel as though I’m making a lot

Agreed its comfortable enough but not how it used to be where you could afford things easily with no worries

San Diego $400k for family of 3.

I like to think of it as to when i entered college. I thought 100K would be great back then (early 2000s) but with inflation that would be 155K in today's economy.

Hi Everyone,
I have a query. Not sure if this is the right forum for it, but let me just ask it here.
I have completed my B.Tech. on 2020 and got a job in an MNC with a 3.8LPA, but due to COVID, the onboarding was delayed to Feb 2021. During this time, I had enrolled myself for a distance M.Tech. degree.
I recently joined a new company with a 10.1LPA a month back.
Just two weeks back, my M.Tech. degree is completed.
Should I have some increment in my new company as to my M.Tech. completion?

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level.

If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness.
