Very much depends on your industry

More than realistic. How are you earning so much with just 1-2 years of exp?

Need to job hop a few times, but yes.
I started at 26 at just $41k base, $12k bonus - now 9 years later I'm at $190k base and $40k bonus, working only 50% as hard as when I was starting out.

get COVID = lose 1m in savings LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I think they meant to say covid will lead you to having millions of tubes shafted down you in ICU with the expensive bill to boot. Since being vaccinated doesn't mean you won't get covid (The vaccines only protects against the wuhan delta and are less effective against the more virulent and deadly delta variant.)

Yeah if you're a dumbass without basic medical insurance, sure.

Generally, in a a typical working employee lifecycle, I feel that in the earlier career, one gets paid for doing work…. Thereafter, in later part of the career, one gets paid for shouldering responsibilities.

Wonder why in this day and age, people still think that high pay = long hours and high stress.
People pay you for the value you generate, not for the hours you put in.

Depends on the role you are doing. If the company dont need you, value has no value during a retrenchment. Best is do not put too much of your worth in a job.
