If you don't have kids, why wouldn't your spouse work (assuming they are in good health)?

If you're actually wealthy, home and estate management can easily be a full time job. If you just have high income, it's kinda dumb.

There are software engineers (aside from H1Bs) getting paid less than six figures?

fake edit: Google sez $100k is almost exactly the median salary, so yeah, I guess about half of them are. But that group has to be overrepresented by aforementioned H1Bs and kids right out of college. It's an arbitrary line, but shouldn't be a tough barrier to crack with a few years experience.

In some parts of flyover country it can certainly be hard to crack 100k. At Google though, if you get in and are moderately successful, 300k total comp isn't even that ambitious.

I'm a mediocre developer with no STEM background at all, entirely self-taught, and I make > $100k with a bit under 4 years experience, in the mid-west. Ask for a raise, you're probably a hell of a lot better than you think you are.

I literally just posted this in another thread. Unless you are utter crap as a developer, 9/10 times you need better interview skills, not actual directly relevant skills.
