$61.5k in yearly contributions is out of reach for most people. I can't even max out my 401k due to high cost of living (with a family) and mediocre income.

It's definitely high quality. I guess I'm just jaded about being a loser.

You talk about maxing out your 401k, but have looked into you maximizing your income to the be able to save more?

(Of course money is not the only important thing in your life)

i agree, mega backdoor seems to be a perk for staff / VP level employees.

No, those are called deferred comp plans and they’re a whole separate ballgame. MBDR is much more accessible to your average six-figure earning employee.
