Yeah. That was my first thought. There’s probably orders of magnitude more training data for software engineering than for theoretical physics (her field). Also, how much of software engineering is truly novel? Probably someone else has already come up with a decent solution to your problem, it’s “just” a matter of finding it.
If you’re usual child-raising age then you probably have 6-10 years of experience, and there should be lots of jobs that pay $500k in the Bay Area. Buying a $2m house on that salary is pretty doable.
$500k would likely be a staff level salary offer. I think a senior role around $350-400k is probably more likely as a new hire coming in which is definitely great money, but still hard to take a $20k+ monthly mortgage with! Especially since a lot of that salary is variable equity income which can go down (ask me how I know!!)
I’m inspired by this on so many levels. What a renaissance man.

I don't substituting blood for eggs is a widely-known option. I'd never heard of it before now, and I have a somewhat above-average amateur interest in cooking and food science.
Whichever one used sensory deprivation tanks. I don't remember the specifics.
High salinity solutions make wizards more buoyant. It's immediately self evident to me how this helps one telepathically view the inside of missile silos on the other side of the planet.
The US economy appears to growing at about the same (inflation-adjusted) rate that it has since the 80s. [0]
But it certainly does seem that the consumer price index is failing to capture the reality of rising costs. For example the big mac index significantly outpaced the CPI the last few years.[1] And obviously housing and education costs have outpaced inflation. I guess it's politically expedient to under-report inflation... I wonder what the "real" GDP growth would be if we had a measure of cost that actually reflected the reality of people's lives.
Of course, that's not even mentioning increasing inequality.
The components of cpi are all individually reported, as is the weighting. You’re free to present your own weightings, or perhaps analyse people’s spendings as a service and categorise it to present a personal inflation index.
