Hi fellow Redditers,

For people aged 20-35 earning $150k+, what do you do, and how did you get there?

Curious to hear what careers/industries you’re in, how many years it took you to get there, and whether you feel like there was a particular decision or opportunity that made the biggest difference.

People never share their salaries in real life but I know plenty are on 150K, I would love some wisdom from you lovely people.

FYI, me first - I'm a senior marketing automation person at a corporate on 130K (no bonus).
