My first job outside of college as an SE: 40hr/week & 50k in Mississippi. I worked my ass off and I'm almost at #1. Working 20-30 hours a week (with some meetings where I don't really work) making less than 300k, but in a big city living my best life. All but one person in my team is a fresh hire straight from college or an internship. It's doable, but they're picky.

I enjoyed the Mississippi job more due to the work style vs the new big tech job. But the hours and money are very nice, so I can't really complain.
