Title: I'm kind of tired of all of these salary surveys because I don't trust them, but I am curious and think that it would be useful for the HN community to get advice/inspiration from some of the most financially successful engineers.<p>So, for the developers making more than (plus or minus) $200,000 per year in salary:<p>How much are you making?<p>Is your income stable or volatile?<p>What industry are you in?<p>Where do you live?<p>How long did it take to get to your level?<p>What kind of work do you do?<p>Do you enjoy it, or is it the stereotypical "highly paid because it's crappy" work?<p>Is this a short-lived opportunity, or do you expect it to exist in 5 years?<p>What would your advice be to a 20-year-old aspiring developer? 25? 30?
