I don’t think anyone would flat out expect to get 100k starting (save for grad students w specialized degrees), and if they do they’re highly delusional. I do know of that one case of someone starting with 6 figs, but I made clear several times that it is definitely not the norm and was particular to that person and his experience/connections/whatever. I am very sorry if anyone thought this situation could serve as a reasonable expectation for their own personal path without similar outside forces helping that along.

I think my assumption here for “high paying” was something along the lines of being able to live comfortably in LA as a single person, which 65k starting would most certainly achieve. I’ll be happy if I hit something around the 60-70 mark after a few years (1 or 2 or 3) with my company (which is looking like a reasonable goal at this point, but who knows).
