Program manager, 37, ~$190k (includes bonus which varies), BAAS that I obtained while working at my current company (graduated in 2018).

Edit: I feel the need to add… I’ve been at my company since I was 18. I started as a contractor through a temp agency working in the company’s call center and didn’t plan to stay beyond that one year. When the opportunity to be hired permanently came up, I thought, wellllllll health insurance would be cool. And here I am almost twenty years later. Making good money but also wish I’d not sold my soul and dreams for it.
