You guys can +n all you want but without any details of the job you are providing no value.

…

…All you guys have confirmed is, yes it is theoretically possible to get that salary. If that is true, how about listing specific companies and job descriptions?[/quote]

it’s pretty easy to find an engineer make over $175K and his job description. I can think of one guy off the top of my head.

I met the guy at cars/coffee – engineer. Don’t know his exact detail of his income but he buys several $million+ cars. Not parental money – his money.
My guess is that he makes 5-10million/year, possibly more. I mean blowing $3million on an FXX-K isn’t for the 1%. It’s for the 0.01%
