It's your path. There is no good or bad. Are you happy? Do you live the lifestyle you want? What goals do you have...can you meet them? Are you in HCOL or LCOL? are you living within your means?

Those are the important questions.

Some people never get to that TC. It took myself and all my friends in marketing, product and engineering 10-15 years to make over $100k so congrats, you’re ahead of the majority of Americans salary potential in their lifetime but I don’t think anyone needed to tell you that, you just wanted a little ego boost.

I know people 12 years in Accenture making less than 130k. A different question is what direct dollar value are bringing in for your TC? Are you bringing in 3x or 5x or more?

I think we should anchor on that number not our TC. It helps get raises, determine if you are less relevant, when you are at risk of RIF, or let you know when it’s time to move on.

Consulting is about sales at every level, what sales are you bringing in, delivering, or supporting.

I think your question is saying the quiet part out loud for a lot of people, except the optics look bad in a social media post. If you’re just comparing by only your total comp and your pool of comparison is global for your age across all careers, then probably top 1%. In the US, my guesstimate is top 3%. Now by specific industry, education, and other variables that usually imply higher incomes my guess is somewhere in the top 10%. Just a note that the comparison game is never ending, and at a certain point you need to ground yourself on more substantive criteria for self worth. Even if you hit 1 million total comp, your goal post will just change and you’ll feel similar to when you first hit 100k unless you value yourself with something more solid than only salary.
