I'm a mechanical engineer in a VLCOL area, I make ~80k, but manage a 60% SR very comfortably.

i feel like lemmy specifically is going to be even more engineer focused than reddit's FIRE community

My wife is a licensed professional counselor (therapist) in private practice. $160k/yr. I’m a SAHD. We’re in our mid-30’s.

I'm the information security officer and head of technical operations for an insuretech startup.

Great work and six-figure pay but nowhere near where I need to be to reach comfortable early retirement.

Workforce forecasting.

Corporate accountant - got my CPA, so that helped accelerate my career

The second one. :P Going for FatFIRE.

Software Engineer here - also curious. Let me see if my reply can perform a little necromancy :D

ERP software solutioning / presales, so the typical crowd

I work in product for a non FAANG tech company.

Salary wise, definitely not low income but also not six figures like many of the techies we see in the FIRE forums.

Production Operator in a manufacturing plant. I make less than 100k a year. Slowly but steady i see all my investments growing

I retired last year at age 49. I was a lab tech, and I earned about 70k.

I'm in financial analysis also have my CPA.

Don't earn as much as SWE but not bad. Six fig in a VHCOL area though.

Definitely not a low income saver. I’m a tech manager in the trading industry. Basically a SWE with more responsibilities.
