Tech Career Net Worth Breakdown
People ask me how I reached an eight-figure net worth after only 5 years in tech: Year 1 - $65K (1st job) Year 2 - $72K (asked for raise) Year 3 - $137K (switched jobs) Year 4 - $35.67M (lawsuit payout from Google commuter bus hitting me) Year 5 - $146K (promotion)
A black text meme lists a tech worker’s earnings over five years, with a huge windfall in Year 4 from a lawsuit after being hit by a Google commuter bus. The joke is that the supposed career success and eight-figure net worth mostly came from an absurd accident settlement, not salary growth.
