> Not happening. Getting significantly more than $100k is close to impossible in most careers in any other country

There are literally millions of people around the world who earn significantly more than US$100K and don’t work in the US.

e.g. in Australia, many medical specialists earn more than US$200k - it is common for experienced oncologists, cardiologists, paediatricians, gastroenterologists, etc, to earn more than US$200k.

'most careers' and Australia is a special snowflake, too, though yes, a valid example. on the other hand you have Eastern Europe, 6h drive to the 'West' from approximately anywhere and salaries in the shitter except for some professions in capitals (cardiologists would probably also qualify).

That’s spare change for a US doctor.
