Tech Salary Wealth Playbook
$19
Does This Sound Familiar?
You're earning a lot.
But it doesn't feel like it.
You solved the hard problem. You got the job. The salary is real. So why does it still feel like you're one bad quarter away from anxiety?
What's Inside
Six chapters.
Every one earns its place.
No padding. No filler. Each chapter solves one specific, expensive mistake that engineers at Big Tech are making right now.
The Order of Operations — The Most Important Page in This Guide
Where your next dollar goes determines everything. Most engineers invest in the wrong sequence and pay for it with hundreds of thousands in missed compounding. This chapter gives you the exact priority stack — from employer match to Mega Backdoor Roth to taxable brokerage — and explains why order matters more than amount.
Your 401(k) Is Probably Leaking Money — The Mega Backdoor Roth
Roughly 1 in 3 large tech employers offer this. Almost nobody asks. The 2026 IRS limit allows up to $72,000 total into your 401(k) — a $47,500 gap above the standard deferral limit that can be converted to a tax-free Roth. Step-by-step instructions to check and activate it at your company.
RSU Strategy — Stop Treating Vested Shares Like a Bonus
Your job, your bonus, your career equity, and your investment portfolio are all riding on one company's stock price. The 3-decision framework at every vest date, the 15% concentration rule, and how to use tax-loss harvesting to offset capital gains year-round.
Index Funds — The Boring Strategy That Actually Builds Wealth
The 3-fund portfolio, why active stock-picking underperforms, how to automate contributions and remove yourself from the decision during downturns — because the engineers who built real wealth didn't do it by being clever. They did it by being consistent.
Real Estate as a Second Income Stream
Your W-2 income is a lending advantage. The 15-minute deal analysis framework using the 1% rule and cap rate. Three entry strategies: house hacking, BRRRR, and long-term rental. Plus the depreciation tax benefit most engineers completely miss.
The 10-Year Wealth Blueprint — Four Income Levels, Real Numbers
Projected net worth at 10 years for $120K, $200K, $300K, and $400K TC — with the full stack applied. The compounding table that will make you wish you had started yesterday. And the one variable that changes everything: time.

Common questions
Who is this guide for?
Software engineers and tech professionals earning between $120K and $400K TC who want a clear, prioritized framework for building wealth — especially those who are first-generation wealth builders, newer to investing, or simply overwhelmed by all the options.
Is this financial advice?
This guide is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for personalized financial, tax, or legal advice. All 2026 tax figures are based on current IRS guidelines and are subject to change. Always consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.
How long will it take to read?
Most readers finish it in 60 to 90 minutes. It's designed to be read in a single sitting, with each chapter ending in a concrete action step so you immediately know what to do next. No bloat, no filler.
What if I already invest in index funds?
The guide will still be valuable. Most readers who already invest find the biggest gaps in the Mega Backdoor Roth (Chapter 2) and RSU strategy (Chapter 3) — areas that standard investing advice doesn't cover for tech employees specifically.
How is delivery handled?
