Ah, sorry I didn&#x27;t respond before.<p>I live and work in SF at a large company (not Netflix, but something pretty similar). I&#x27;m 80% a coder, 10% a manager, and 10% a data scientist, and I love my job. $250k salaries are very common at large companies these days--you just need to stick around and work hard for a few years.<p>Even if you make $150k, my advice stands, but you should probably invest smaller amounts than $100k, obviously.
