I’m not the one struggling trying to find a job…

I’ve done my stint at BigTech.

To be blunt. If you can’t make more than $140K, the market is telling you something. You only “deserve” what the market is willing to pay you.

Because it is your ego. A “modest” life is living at the income level of the 50th percentile - not the 80th percentile.

The minute I brought up $140K you said you felt bad because you wanted to do better than someone else.
