Those "inflated rates" exists.

I'm 27 years old, drawing around 4.2k...I think it's reasonable for my background.

I do have friends getting 90k per annum their age is mid to late 20s. I think they didn't inflate their salary because they don't have a reason to, and based on their lifestyles...not hard to believe. Jetsetting to exotic places every two months, branded goods and expensive watches...
