This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

$130k after 2 years? 2 years after I started I was making like... $60k? That's not even counting the 4.5 years I spent starting a startup and making nearly nothing.

That said, I don't live in Silicon Valley or anything. Pretty low cost-of-living here. Probably a big part of the discrepancy. I didn't reach $130k until like 20 years of experience in the industry.

Inflation is thing that make number bigger but no more money. Less, even.
