Tech industry is misleading. one can make lots of money in the private tech industry but things can change overnight because it's constantly evolving into the next big thing. You can be making 270k one year and laid off the next. Companies are in a foot race to corner the next big thing in technology. not to mention a lot of jobs are being outsourced. Always some new idea on the horizon. AI is a perfect example. how it looks today will be nothing like how it will look 5 years from now.

I work in the city and very few people make over 100k. The city is expensive and its one reason why people want full remote. No hybrid 100% remote. By being remote we can move to a lower cost area while keeping your 50k income.

[@amesasw]

It's not uncommon to make over $100k. It's just the majority don't. But for most cities, $100k income is only tip 20% of earners. So 1/5 make over. That's is a lot of people. I probably wouldn't use few or very few until we started talking about 1% salaries.

[@ruibai434]

The city as in San Francisco? I've lived here 8 years, everybody I know who work for a tech company make over 100k.

[@amesasw]

@@ruibai434 if you hang around tech people it's easy to end up in a bubble where the poorest person is an intern making $150k...

[@trudychung1692]

Would it be possible to get a whole video of people who only work in SF?

[@SalaryTransparentStreet]

These are all the interviews we got while visiting SF 💚

Thats not marcus in the thumbnail? He looks and smiles just like someone i know

Can you do more bay area cities?

[@rayd408]

For being in one of the most expensive city, some are making less than I thought.

[@KidTreky]

I need to get into tech 😬

[@rust-0hspray156]

All that money they making in San Francisco just to give to their landlord and Safeway

[@foysalahmmed8981]

I am really eager to know about Industrial engineer's salary in usa.

[@BellTunnel]

I don’t believe the guy who owns a trucking company. I own a trucking company, and my salary is $25,000,000, which is pretty standard , honestly.

[@Lombok197]

25 million ?

[@BellTunnel]

@@Lombok197 well…I might be underestimating. A bit.

[@OiVinn-eq1ml]

$25 mil sounds a bit sus than what that guy said lol

[@BellTunnel]

@@OiVinn-eq1ml forgot to mention, I’m based out of Dayton, a.k.a. Silicon Valley East.

[@OiVinn-eq1ml]

@@BellTunnel Still, $25 mil in insane! Lol You hiring?

[@CarneAsadaFries_]

levelsfyi is notoriously inaccurate and not up-to-date with current rates. Be prepared to get low balled if you're thinking about interviewing in tech.

[@warrenleezy]

Sunny incomes . . . sweeping the clouds away . . . Unfriendly neighbors where the air is sweet (because of spare the air days)😆 🤣 😂

Yep always

[@JB-ys8mj]

Kindergarten teacher 90k off all summer. Not bad

[@FrugalTeacherFI]

Not off in the summers. Unemployed. Teachers are contract employees and only paid for the days they actually work.

[@fvr12345]

It’s $90k maxing out after 35 years. Not an easy job either. Most likely putting in unpaid hours to prep for classes and grade work .

[@beyang4able]

Teachers could easily make 100k by taking on extra roles. My brother is 8 years in and made 94k this year.

[@FrugalTeacherFI]

@@beyang4able You can't just "take on extra roles" in most districts. Additionally there are many states where salaries are dictated by the state. In many states even with a Masters you will never make more than 65k even after a 30 year career

[@FrugalTeacherFI]

@@fvr12345 Correct. My school pays us for 40 hours a week and expects 52-55 hours of regular work

[@sharonicali]

Some of these folks aren’t working in SF so I wouldn’t take their salary number seriously. I live in SF and work for FAANG with a non-tech mid-level marketing role. I’d say anyone who makes less than $120k in SF now would feel broke.

[@javierhernandez1555]

Okay, software engineer at the 10:00 mark is suspicious. I am not saying is impossible, but for how little experience he has and being self taught, you have LOTS of other options in the market. My guess is the fella has connections though parents.

[@chrispnw2547]

He is a candidate for being replaced by someone from India for much less. Sometimes being overpaid is motivation for a company to displace you. Ask the folks at Twitter.

[@MrNickallday]

In my field (Med lab Scientist) we make about 60k in most states but in big city areas like in California it is 120k on average

hey is 150k good money in irvine? im moving to US now and have no idea.

[@kimchee411]

For a single person? You can live comfortably, but not luxuriously. But have no expectation of being able to buy a house.

[@kml.]

could be cool to scope out less touristy parts to get more realistic numbers

[@thebatmanwholaughs219]

Six figures is not that impressive for SF. $100K is about $56K where I live, and I live in a Moderate cost of living area. The COL in SF is insanely high so there's a lot more people making six figures because they won't survive otherwise.

[@kai_s1985]

There is a big difference between tech (software eng) and non tech people in terms of salary.

[@WolverineXXXX]

I just wanna know how these people learn these trades. Some of these they don't teach.

Software engineers 💰💰💰

[@thetruthsayer8347]

@sociopathReaction “most”? Are you talking about entry level or seasoned professionals???

[@thetruthsayer8347]

@DubstepJunkie I know not everyone is making $300k at fang. Heck not everyone working at fang is making more than $100k but you have to be specific when you are talking about software engineers.

[@authenticapparel1906]

$40k in SF doesn’t work.

[@Brandon-tz5pn]

Yeah 40k kinda crazy unless you're married or have roommates.
