curious to know how many low income savers are in the community vs typical FIRE jobs like software engineers

    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.

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

    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.

    SWE, but not a crazy FAANG job or anything, just your normal run of the mill software wing of a company that manufacturers stuff.

    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.
