I make 4,000€/month while I live in The Netherlands (I'm 25 years old) and I consider that to be pretty good compared to anyone I know (I make more than the few friends that also don't do bad that did technical computer science and mechanical engineering master graduates).

Salaries here are a joke though. I envy American salaries, because here the pay seems so equal everywhere. There's brain drain going on, like IT graduates moving to the USA etc.

I'm a supply chain engineer btw and I graduated in an easy as fuck fake engineering called industrial engineering and management. I'm just good at improving processes I guess, which made me able to make some steps in the 2 years I started working now.

It's funny you say this, anons.
Soon, you'll have a good idea of just how big these chan boards really are.
I'll put things very bluntly for you: over the next few months, your overton windows will be shattered. As it may matter to you, there is a gold standard coming down the pipe (don't take my word for it. take to researching). I'm not sure what that really means in the /biz/ realm, but it's knowledge I've developed elsewhere, so if anyone can speculate based on that knowledge, I'm quite welcoming of it.
Trust me, many more eyes see these places than you might think. Many hardly chime in.

Enjoy my time off, but a flight service is trying to poach me to work on their rotor air ambulance and to do international critical care transports on a lear. Its tempting. Would add another $80,000 to that number and would only be 5 days a month.

I think there's a lot of people on this board making 100k+ a year.
I make 125k base salary a year as a software dev working in SF.
I only went to college for 2.5 years before dropping out to get a job, and I'm 1.5 years out from that now. Also took some time in between college to work as a dev full time for a year, so I only have like 2.5 years of actual work experience.
I did start fucking around with python early in high school though, so kinda got a headstart there.
If anyone has any questions about it just ask me in this thread or something.
TL;DR: If you know what you're doing, 100k is ezpz as a software dev.

I worked for software companies (or companies that do mainly software/blockchain stuff).
Also did some shit for the government as an internship but it blows.
Cost of living isn't too bad, I pay 1.7k a month in rent and share a super nice house with 2 friends, 1.6k square feet + a nice backyard. Everything here is a little more expensive, but I still save almost 50% of my salary (after taxes) every year.
To get my foot in the door, either talk to everyone you know, or just reach out to recruiting agencies. Software engineers are in SUPER high demand right now, and I get 4-5 cold calls from recruiters every week just because so many places desperately need engineers.
Any other questions? Are you tryna get into the space?

Not really. Anyone with an average $200k/year in san fran is probably saving more a year than their entire equivalent salary in a rural area, depending on the profession.
