Close to this. 125K in a small city working for small company on a government project. I took a bit of time off to travel and then landed a 220K job in Seattle. Rent cost took added a bit more than $15K Taxes took another $27K.

The difference really is moving from a small co. to FANG.

CTCI and LC your way there.

• FANG means “Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google” [1]
