I never came even close with 25 years under my belt.
My mother won't answer me what her salary was when she retired. Easily in the industry for 30-40 years, but I know it was under $200k. Granted she was an electrical engineer before getting her masters in computer science, but I also suspect it has to do with the fact that she and I didn't work for the big tech giants.
And I have no interest in doing so.
I mean I did not work for a tech giant but not like I would not have taken one but yeah I was not looking for work in new york or san fran.
