      My first tech job out of college was $55k.

      Average in my area for new grads at best is like $85k.

      My highest paying was $195k as a Senior and my average is probably $150k as a Senior / Lead.

      None of this was big tech though.

      I don’t make quite that after 8 years of doing this stuff. That being said, I dropped out of college twice. Maybe $100k of debt is what I need to close that $25k difference lol
