For Brehs in IT making 6 figures, it happened once your in your 30s right???

I know a breh that was making 6 figures at 25...he was already making 60K at one job...he took the Red Hat Enterprise Linux test better known as RHEL 6...think they got 7 out now or higher...it's a $400 dollar test...breh got the answers to the exam and got his cert...now new job offers coming in at 80K minnimum and more with experience...he got a 2nd job making 80K with the cert and kept the 60K job on the weekends... so that 60K got cut to half of that when he switched to a part-time shift...so that combined he makes $110K...
Another Breh...went and got the same cert and got hired to work with the Linux team in our department...and he pulled in 80K with that position off the break with other offers in the 6 figure range...
So if you wanna make real doe in IT get that Red Hat Linux certification aka RHEL cert...then finesse your resume...

I started making 6 figures at 27, in Ohio. But i dont think thats the standard in IT.
Six figures isnt always 6 figures like people think. I depends on where u live. Anything less than 160k in a places like Cali, DC, and NYC are pretty much 85k with the cost of living.
Its nice for bragging right to say you gross 130k a year but not when youre paying 25-30k a year in rent for that 700 sq ft apartment and $8 for a gallon of milk.

I will never understand why you white collar boys make so much and throw it away on rent in trendy neighborhoods. So much affordable real estate in DMV but nikkas wanna be a part of the hypster culture so bad
yep, pretty much... but I went the military route and tip toeing at 6 figures on just my military pay alone... but i also got side hustles too in the IT gang which pushes me over 6 figures EASILY...

Whats your Officer grade?
Damn
I know few dudes that had the "swanswers" to a few cert tests.Passed the technical test and interview but couldn't perform the job and got let go. Some other ones actually faked it and made a career of it.
these coli nikkas be thinking I'm joking when I said I know dudes with offers $100k+ who only took a course and we're in house trained by smaller IT companies to be put on contracts.
some of these indian IT companies only want to hire indians for billable hours.
Edit - of the dudes I know works for Red Hat and he's in a group (private chat) full of indians and they help each other out with any questions.

@Axolotl dont wait till u in ur 30s to start hustling. Its a slow gradual growth.
Spoke to an electrician who came to fix a computer at my work, he works on electrics on lasermarkers or different industrial machines, dude travels all over the world with his work, few weeks ago he was in Taiwan,Germany, Greece, Australia, Brazil.
He told me in his 20s he was busy in his books, while his homies were busy partying, clubbing, fukking hoes. Now his 53, travels the world for free becuz of work & has fukked women from across the world throughout his career

I hit 100k at around 27/28 in the IT field in the DMV. I have a Top Secret clearance tho. Seems you have to have some major certs and degrees if you don't have a TS clearance to make over 80k, especially outside of the DMV.
I have a friend from Bmore I worked with in DC for General Dynamics in like 2007. We were making 50k back then. We both moved up. I have a CI polygraph, he has a Fullscope Poly with a TS, dude makes 160k. He got an offer for 200 Linux
