Households who make over 250k/year, how do you get there in 2025?

It seems like to afford a house in large metropolises nowadays, you need to make at least 250k/year.

Instead of complaining, I'll take the constructive approach and seek advice on how to get to that kind of income in big cities.

Some advice that previously worked, such as switching careers into software engineering, no longer work, so please refrain from giving advice that are inapplicable today.
