Before 2023, it was easy to reach that level with just a bachelor's degree and 5-8 years work experience by working in tech company in Bay Area. Unfortunately that kind of income doesn't go anywhere near as you'd think in metro areas like the Bay Area or New York City.
Even so, it's still one of the very few viable paths forward to FIRE. And then bail out and move back to Asia for early retirement. Fuck living in the West long term. That's for suckers who want to get lynched by maga and proud boys.

Problem is in the very expensive urban areas where those types of jobs are concentrated, the costs of raising a family is so high that unless both partners are earning in that range, FIRE is not really attainable until age 50+. And the income tax rates (state and federal) in states like California and New York are ridiculous, you will be barely netting half of your gross income at those income ranges. 500k income in Bay Area is like 270-280k after taxes, and a single family home in a decent school district are 2.5-3.5 million with property taxes of 40-50k / yr.

So.. it's actually real now.. this guy dug up the data and learned Americans can now be stripped of their citizenship if they oppose Israel. Both Democrats and Republicans have consensus.
This is less of "deporting immigrants to their country of origin" and more like Germany stripping Jews of citizenship.

They're not going to be sent back to where they came from any more than German Jews were allowed to go to Palestine or Ukraine.

They're going to be sent "out east". Permanently.
