My question is how do you still have employers when you're making 1.1M a year. Jeez.
Certainly is amazing! I want to know the secrets to being such a good company and/or manager that you can keep someone earning 1.1m on your staff!
Lots and lots of work! Go home at 6pm, work till midnight. Eventually it paid off for me but a lot of times I thought it was just digging a hole to nowhere.

#63New account because I don't want my employers knowing. My sideproject on iOS and Android generates 1.1M a year. About 90-100k a month. I'm still employed because the app runs on its own, very low maintenance, so might as well get a salary doing something else and learn new things
can you share your app?
That would reveal who (s)he is.

So like $350,000/yr after the 30% cut from the app stores, and additional 40% cut from state and federal taxes? yeah I'd keep my job too and look forward to those sweet tax deductions and getting all that extra social security withholding back
40% a bit too high for Canada.
Plus a 105k a year salary from day job. Its enough to live on for a 27 year old.

I thought nobody but the big names were making money with apps ...
Sometimes the little guy sticks it to the man!

That's awesome! I'd love for you to give some more details if you could. Do you sell the app or is it from ad revenue? What sort of app is it?
In-App purchases, no ads.

The app serves a good niche, I don't want to be stuck in the niche. Employer is in a very fast moving space so a lot of good learnings there. Would hate to stop learning about new things stuck at home

cool, can't get a palladium card with those aspirations
I would not have been satisfied with that when I was 27 and would have likely gotten an additional side contract, while writing calls in the options market, while buying powerball tickets
