The problem is a lot of black people don't have strong professional networks so we don't know that the opportunities that you mentioned exist.

Truthfully what I've learned. Making good money is cool and all but it doesn't mean shyt if your debt to income ratio is high. The lower your debt to income ratio is the better you will live. You already ahead of the game as a homeowner. You are knee deep in the game once you don't have a mortgage (assuming if you have one).
And that shyt needs to change, a lot of it is rooted in mistrust and this lone wolf / struggling is 'real' ideology

It's all good breh. It's an investment that will pay off in more ways than one.yeah I have one. I still got like 13 years left
A lot of these coli's "6 certers" probably work as a security guard at walmart in real life. statistically, the coli might have 3 or 4 top 5 percenter at most
Most dude on this site are not earning above $60k a year and I'm willing to bet my mortgage on that. post your payslip/bank account, bunch of
Like I said before, someone has to make it.
I'll break it down the best way I know how for my personal income...
I just turned 35. I didn't earn a 6 figure salary until I was about 31. I worked in Big Law, doing paralegal work. I've worked at the same firm from like age 24 to present day. With OT I was hitting about 110gs salary for a couple years straight. at 33, I created a house flipping & property development business with some family members. So I've been working remote during COVID for my firm, getting that money, and I've also added about 100-200k a year to my take with real estate.
That's where my 200-250k a year is coming from. I plan to exit the 9-5 shyt very soon.

gotta let go of worrying about being black all the time.
if you stay with the crowd youll end up like the crowd.
what im talking about is being comfortable not being around black people.

In this day and age it's pretty much common knowledge that about 3 years of experience is worth $300k-$500k+ in software engineering.
Read the replies:
I'd actually say $185k is successful, but underpaid. Need to keep driving up the price.
Some of these companies like Apple pull in $150 billion in pure profit a year, they can pay their software engineers $1mil/year each, their top engineers NBA-level salaries and still be completely fine.
I'm personally grinding Leetcode again to get a new job that pays much more than what I'm making at my current place.

Dudes always want rounds of applause
If you make 60, 70,80k a year as a black man with little debt and no kids , nikka u are successful
Hell average black man salary is 42k

Exactly...
nikkas would mess up an opportunity to get money because of someone's political affiliation, but then go to a sports game and support a team owned by the someone who is affiliated with the same politics they hate..
You gonna have to bite bullets if you want to move up
