> Otherwise you’d be making under minimum wage if you were salaried and making less than $90k.
No, because if you have a $90k salary and job duties that qualify for wage and hour exemption under FLSA and any applicable state labor law at that salary, then, there is no minimum hourly wage.
That’s what it means to be exempt from wage and hour rules.
For FLSA, “computer related” work is exempt at a salary of just over $35k.
