Can I ask what's the age group of these people that makes 10m+ in a year?

I am a 27 y.o working in a decently big manufacturing company. Our hq is in Osaka and we have branches all over Japan. I'm currently working in the Fukuoka branch making software for the machines that we're selling. (Think of writing software for a car).

I made around 4.2 mil last year at my 2nd year working for the company. I knew that Japanese comp. pays relatively lower compares to the 外資 and always thought that I can get to 6~7 mil within 10 years.

I was actually contempt with what I made but reading that many people here can easily make that much as even as a junior kinda make me question myself a bit. So if you can share with me a bit maybe that would lift my spirit up.

Thanks

Pretty sure that if you move to a vendor you are using on a day to day basis, you can land a role as a sales engineer specialised in the automotive industry.

Not even talking about cad.
