Depends.

At my current salary I wouldn’t even look at it.

If I was suddenly unemployed without a rainy day fund and needed the money, I would look hard at it. Pro tip - don’t be without a rainy day fund.

It’s decent for my LCOL location. You could easily live a decent middle/upper middle class life on that.

$160k is when things start to get a bit comfortable until you start a family in expensive areas

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.
