My guy. Are you being held hostage by your employer? Blink twice for yes.

I had most of those things with a bachelors straight out of college, working for a dinky startup. A six figure salary is basically minimum wage for software engineers in the Bay.

If you're making less than six figures, your employer is exploiting you. I hope you find a better job.

Six figures doesn't mean $100,000, my guy.
