For a career job? Name any business that’s competitive in Boston that’s not paying its top end individual contributors significantly more then that? If pay were that far out of line they wouldn’t have a staff shortage.

Most businesses actually don't pay 6 figures to most of their employees. You must live in some magic fantasy land where someone earning $100k/year is considered poor instead of the real world where it's considered above average pay.

Neither does the T, or even close to that. It’s the top scale, so the most experienced workers. Most businesses do pay 6 figures to their most experienced employees in roles for careers.

I’m sorry you’re living in a fantasy world if you think you could pay less and hold onto anyone for 5+ years in this economy. 100k a year is enough to buy a very modest house in an area with bad schools now. It’s middle class.
