I know people in the SAP space, private consulting, making $500,000 a year, I think that is where the money is. Niche areas of consulting… create your own agency. My GF’s ex BF earned something like $1.5 million/yr or something (so she says)..he had his own consulting company taking on small projects, I don’t think all these SAP guys are something special. SAP is just super boring but if it pays that kind of $$$ then why not.

With all the inflation going on $130k in greater LA just ain’t going to cut it anymore… I don’t even consider it a livable middle class wage anymore.
