The company I work for has an opportunity available that you might be interested in: conducting remote technical interviews. It pays pretty well & is a great fit for an evenings-and-weekends level of involvement. Email is in my profile -- if you'd like to learn more, feel free to reach out!

Sounds like an interesting & cool opportunity. I did not see an email domain in your profile. Can I presume it is @gmail?

> let's say between ~$150-180k > even at that income I'm saving very, very little living in a HCOL and high tax city Not the answer you want to hear but the problem is your spending. I have no idea what your life is like, but I was able to safe comfortably making 100K living in SF. Keep in mind the median HOUSEHOLD income in NYC is 67K.

Your numbers for household income in NYC must be off, see the following sources: https://usafacts.org/data/topics/economy/jobs-and-income/job... https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA672N For 2021, the median household income in the entire United States was above $67k, at ~$70k. And the median rent in Manhattan is allegedly $4k ( https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/09/realestate/manhattan-rent... ) (and the average…

Remember that Manhattan != New York City.

You provided numbers for the US but not New York City. If only there was an easy way to find median rent of New York, New York

If you're experienced at what you do, I may be able to help and would love to hear from you. I am building an exchange for high-quality fractional work specifically for experienced folks. I already do frac. CTO consulting myself and have worked with 8ish clients in the past two years.

My email is in my bio.

Better off finding a better job based on what you're looking for.

I took a second job working weekends at Lowes as a sales associate for a while. Once in a while I'd get a customer telling me the importance of college, a type of work I should get into for more money, or some other thing like that. It was funny to watch their face and hear their questions when I'd say I have a masters and work as a software dev... but also kind of depressing when you think about it.

The median income for the US is higher than the median income you provided for NYC, therefore it seems reasonable to assume your numbers are incorrect.

I then provided rent prices for an expensive neighborhood of NYC to illustrate how a $100k+ income can disappear on rent alone. A $100k salary is not a lot in NYC.
