Hooking/stripping - if you’re good looking. I met a couple of in flights to Vegas that were pulling in $500k just working 3 day weekends. Then they’d fly back home to the middle of the country and live the high life…

Everyone saying tech…. Not a chance. 350 base is like 15-20 YOE

NBA rookies make around this, you need 0 YoE but it’s very selective.

Do you know if there are any openings?
You might need connections more than skills for these types of opportunities.
Btw, 350k base is very limiting. At Google, directors in product management can make $1-1.5M per year, but their base is still under 350k. This is likely true for similar roles in big tech.
I may have stretched with the $1.5M, but levels.fyi indicates 328k base, 613k stock, 104k equity yielding 1.045M compensation. $1.5 would require well timed equity awards.
Private equity, hedge fund, ib, tech. Know people ine ach that made well over 300k before 30. I know 1 that walked away with 4mm cash at 30
It’s never too late to pickup a new skillset
Probably only IB/VC jobs, tech jobs (only SWE/SDE at FAANG), MBB given you progress every two years, guessing lawyers, dentist, would want to say docs but not below 30 unfortunately.
Even SWE wouldn’t be close. Staff SWE is generally where you hit 30, and the average base is like $250k. Granted, TC would come in a little over double that.

@EY1 are you originally from that "Third World Country"? If yes, I find this interesting that you would use that term.

it depends on where you go. Just had a med school. Ex: If you land in Dubai for a couple years it’s possible to pay off your schooling in a few years.
IB, VC, big law, tech, consulting, some executives and founders of some companies. That being said most of the ones clearing 350k will be outliers but some will make it.
Ahh. Ok. Misunderstood what you wrote.
-Entrepreneurship.
-Sales depending on company structure and the product you’re selling.
-Maybe big time law.
- Hedge Funds / PE / asset management
- Other instances but you’d need to be top 1% of your craft.

You’re right, my apologies. Misread the post.
why the focus on base pay? But i agree with others 300+ base pay is hard for come by. CFOs at some midsize companies will make that but not at 30.
