No hate for the middle class. I can’t help but enjoy the irony of people who thought they had solidarity with capital talking like Ned Ludd all of a sudden.

      Salary numbers may have been mentioned but I can’t remember.

      Then why say this at the start of your comment thread?

      There’s FAANG and then there’s everyone else. Some jobs can be pretty bad in terms of pay. That first job also had a seasoned professional graphic designer with multiple decades of experience and she wasn’t making much more than I was.

      Either you knew their rough salary, or can’t remember. Which was it?

      What I do remember is that they had another job at the time teaching web design

      I know some people making six figures with second jobs, especially if they’re teaching in their field or live in a high COL area. It doesn’t mean they make “minimum wage” but maybe they live paycheck to paycheck. Those are very, very different.
