100k/year is roughly 5-6k/month after tax in most places. You can buy a house for 2.5k/month. Seems like enough for most

Where the hell are you getting 2.5k/mo? The mortgage on my 350k house is 1600!
That seems low for $350k, unless that excludes tax and insurance and a sizable down payment was made.
Agreed, except that you can buy a house for a lot less than 2.5k/month.
If they're offering remote work from anywhere in the country, including areas with low cost of living, for recent college graduates, maybe this makes sense.
For anyone who has been in the industry 5-10 years at successful corporations the max total compensation of under $150K would be taking a massive pay cut.
$100k/yr is still enough to provide for a family of four in a huge number of places in the U.S. if you're in a more suburban or rural environment, which is still 9 digits' worth of human beings easily
