and even if you were making such a salary, the quesiton of if the investment on hardware to run llm's locally is still a big if, its OK if you buy the HW cause you'll use it and you get the extra capability as a nice extra, but doesnt make sense to spend so much when you could just get 200$ subs with almost infinite SOTA tokens a month etc (if you dont need the local/privacy aspects of it)
