Uh, so what, this is tech.

I started making 6 figures a few weeks after my 18th birthday, over 20 years ago. I've worked with hundreds, if not thousands of people in their teens, or under 23, who made 6 figures. That's the industry, it's not even worth mentioning.

These posts are always just lame humble brags with a contrite anecdote or two and a weak inspirational ending. yawn.

Right now, yes, and in the dot com bubble, yes, but from 2002 until probably 2010, six-figure entry-level salaries weren't so common.

But I agree that for the last ~7 years, making six figures in tech hasn't been anything notable.

Looking at my records, around February 1994 was when I hit $100k, and I'm really a medicore engineer.

This formulaic post is just sad. It's almost as bad as reading Oleg's posts on LinkedIN. I hired a FELON!
