Very few software engineers earn those numbers

FAANG + Bay Area + L5 and up is likely to get you there.

That’s a very small portion of software engineers, but under these conditions it’s no longer exceptional.

They probably only code a little bit. They review and guide at that point. Essentially leading the team’s coding efforts, ensuring the product is of quality.

Full stack, split discipline, niche solution architects, specialty languages (old, science), principals, founders. It’s the minority

Likely very little, they’re paid for knowledge of their codebase and higher level stuff. It’s cheaper to then pay someone lower level to do the grunt work.

Be talented and lucky enough to get in on the ground floor of a startup.

The startup game is basically dead for getting rich. First to be employed is just first to get screwed over. Either found a startup yourself or aim for big tech imo, but that’s also pretty hard given current market conditions. Get ready to surf the next ZIRP-wave though!

Yeah normal companies don’t pay anything like that in Colorado (or if they do wtf am I still doing in cybersec lol). Cali, FAANG for sure.
