Is $400K the new "six figures"?
With the recent pay transparency laws on job postings you can really see how little 100K all-in comp is nowadays. A lot of back office/normal jobs (marketing, IT, HR, sales, etc) in big cities like NY/SF/Chi are paying ~80K base for entry-level folks. They'll hit 100K with bonus and whatnot within a couple of years out of undergrad. I would say about 97.5% of white-collar folks of all ages are making 100K+.
I think $400K is the new barrier to entry to be considered even semi-prestigious. This would filter out low finance (peasants), MBB (peasants), medicine (peasants), big law (peasants) and senators/congressman (peasants). This would only include experienced high financiers (IB/ER/S&T ASO2/3+, PE ASO+, VC Principal+, HF, etc) and careers that are a step below high finance but still pay well (NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB).

Username checks out for sure, and thanks for the laugh.... but can someone ban this clown already?
Mediocre post till the pro athletes are lumped in. Well done
I don’t get why everyone is mad at this guy. In 1980, making $100k was the same as making $377k today. Every year the term “six figures” means less. Eventually “six figures” will be used to refer to a low income person. That’s just how inflation works
I was just eyeballing the $400K figure but what you said makes sense, in 1980 when the term was coined and got popular, $100K was far more common
I do chuckle when I hear the "6 figures" figure.
