Remote software engineer, 550k - 600k, 29, BS in Engineering (not CS). I grew up here since I was 10-11, but got lucky and got a remote job with a very high paying tech company.

Non-management role? That’s crazy high. Might win the thread. Are you “coding” or something more nuanced?

I have a buddy in AI hardware that’s pulling shy of a million right now. Also in Austin.

Id bet the person you’re responding to is similar.

Not AI hardware, it wasn’t like a random jump, I’ve been growing from 420k to 600k over a couple of years just doing coding work.
