You can figure in a grand for overtime (day 1 before 6am, any day over 12 hours), couple grand for bonuses (if you meet the parameters which can be hit or miss), and a few grand in 401k match. So yeah, bottom number on your W2 might total 100k.

Another fine print item, and I’m not sure on this, is I think that while you are in training you are on a different (lower) pay scale. Much lower. Maybe a new hire can confirm if that is still the case.
