Sure but I'd rather not use people who graduated from Stanford, MIT, etc. as a baseline. These are inherently super exclusive and small communities. I'm saying that most people who didn't go to a top program but are at least grindy enough to do leetcode are capable of getting to $500K/yr as long as they are open to FAANG-etc.

I'd rather us not use Stanford as a baseline even if the crowd is numerous and abundant on HN and SV.
