A week? Maybe a month :-)

Software engineers make thousands of dollars per week. Even on the lower end, $120,000/52=$2.3k/w.

If US$ then that is top top end (Architect, Manager level or CTO) in Sydney.

And in most places in the world, that is basically unobtainable. A rather serious case of SV-myopia here I suspect.
