What age were you when you first reached a $100,000 salary? I was 34, so you might call me a late bloomer.

Congrats! That’s a big jump

I was 29 - just after grad school ended.

Year 2010 @ age 40 made 101K. Today 65. @250K. However, I worked for state government and have a small pension and health insurance for life so that makes up for the less than 100K

Congrats my friend

24 in 2021 hit 107k, now at 29 at 215k

Whoever answers this question should probably also state the year they received it as $100k today is not the same purchasing power as it was 50 years ago.

27 the first time. 33 the second time. Been over 200k since 37

23

Very lucky and fortunate - no grad school or target undergrad either.

25 in 2015 (software developer role)

28 in 2015

I was around 32. Now 38 at 190.

28 in 2016

24 in 2016, traveling every week and was hourly employee who could bill travel time. So I was billing 10-15 hours each week of OT.

23 by the time I turned 30 was at $225 base now at $245 turn 31 in a few months

I was 33 in 2018. It was a post b-school jump.

Still working on it…

I was 33 - and now i make ~400 at 40. It’s ok to be a late bloomer.

We Indians are so poor we can't think anything else except money. Whole Fishbowl is all about YOe and Salary. No one interested about if any company doing any innovation or not.

Hardly we can see Foreign Editorial things marked with Packages.
