The upper limit for software engineers is wild, especially once that equity starts appreciating over time. These were averages, so naturally some will make a little less and others may make a lot more.

You'll be spending $40,000+ a year for rent. If you don't want to spend 2 hours a day commuting or living in a slum or if you need more than 1BR to house your kids. There's a reason Microshaft no longer attracts anything but the lowest skilled software engineers... Their pay is dog💩 compared to Amazon or Google in the Seattle area. Then you have to live in Seattle as well. 20 years ago that was great, but now you have to deal with a city that is in a freefall race to become a third world city.

The chances of you working at a FAANG company with 0 years of experience along with no education in the area would be low. I could a video about how I would do it, but you'd likely need to start somewhere smaller first.

Software Engineer l60 here at Microsoft, 120k Base, 25k annual stock, 25k signing 10% annual base bonus. 6k relocation. Also we get more like 25 days off not 15. We get 15 days of PTO and 10 holidays. So more like 25 days. Also as for software goes we get 2400 dollars free in software yearly that’s Microsoft. One last thing they also pay off 1200 dollars of student loans a year, and give you 1200 dollars a year to spend on hobbies/leisure. ++ pretty much free advanced education(11k per semester paid)
