If somebody uses the term 6 figures I always assume there’s an inherent “just barely” at the front

If someone actually says “six figure salary” I assume they are just breaking 100k. People who make more or companies who offer more, phase it differently.

like

"six figures / low six figures" = ~$100k
"comfortably six figures" = ~$250k
"well/nicely into the six figure range" = ~$500k
"deep/high six figures" = ~$750k
"I do okay for myself" = $1mm+

At least $100k. I think six figures meant a good way to say rich, but now I imagine $250k when I think rich.

$250 is just enough to be comfortable in metro. But by no means is it rich. It’s what an average middle class family in the 50’s used to experience lifestyle wise.

Mmm guessing game! Because jumping to conclusions and helping them deceive us rules!

100k

Around 100,000

Around 120k

$100,000.00 is six figures and so is $999,999.99 . When someone says they make six-figures, usually mean they barely broke $100,000 and too embarrassed to give the exact numbers.

I am currently in Wipro having CTC as 7.8 LPA.. I have got an offer from TCS which is 11LPA.However, my Basic Pay/Fixed compensation is getting reduced from my current base pay in the new offer and also the HRA is getting reduced. The HR is telling that the basic is fixed as per policy and they cannot change it. The base pay is less but there are several other components which are higher. Should I take up the new offer? Please help. Will the reduction in base pay impact my career?

Need help settling a debate with my friend. She thinks I will have an easier time getting research grants because I'm male. I think it's the opposite because companies are trying to change the status quo and get more women involved (which I'm not complaining about... please don't attack me.) Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!
