I lucked out after graduating last year and landed a 100k/yr position. I mostly do SQL and ETL stuff, not really software engineering.

So far with 1 YOE, I'm just wondering, what do I even do to make it to the next level of TC, like the 150k+ range?

my work isn't all that impressive (I guess i'm kind of overpaid for what I do), and most job postings seem like I'd have to take a pay cut for. Is my only hope somehow getting to the top tier tech companies, or looking in the US?
