All I’m looking for in a job is to maximize one simple ratio:

Total comp / hours worked

Simple as that

So you want a job who pays 6x the average household income with as less hours as possible? While also being quite young on the market (assuming less than 5 YOE due to "consultant")?

There aren't many opportunities, and many of those depends on some kind of luck/skills

I guess i found what you’re looking for. I exited to 300k for 40 hour weeks (and sometimes not even).

And yet, i find myself unfulfilled. There’s limited company support for what i do, and things move so slowly that it’s hard to get real accomplishments under my belt.

Money isn’t everything. I chose this over roles that were similar pay at much higher hours, but i might have been more fulfilled from those. Idk.

Cool stuff. Did you get a good chunk of BD exp in your consulting role? Or how did you get to there?

Hope you don't mind me grilling you a bit! That's a path I am interested in a little later down the line

In other words, maximize - pay per hour

Yes but you shouldn’t frame it as such because your framing makes it seem as though the numbers of hours worked is given or fixed.

I am looking to find the highest paying job that requires the least amount of hours worked. They are both levers you can pull when hunting for a role.

13 yr outside Sales Experience in the B2B space, multiple roles/companies. Current quota is $15MCAD, I usually do not bad in quota but lately has shifted to rewarding medicorciy and "pooling" some numbers countrywide which i really dont like.
Current comp is $85k Base and $115 OTE with a ceiling of $150k CAD/$120k US. Feel it's too little for my experience and they are taking perks away by the day.
Thinking of moving to I tech sales? Anyone else do it? What's comp look like?

So, I've tried a few different positions and still hate practicing law BUT I was approached about a contract role that won't have billable hour requirements and I won't be steeped (I think) into the law firm's toxicity, so I'm wondering if it could be the closest thing to a 9 to 5 for law. Pay is hourly which seems weird, but I would have time to devote to hobbies and life generally. Has anyone been tempted by or accepted these contract opportunities, and what's your hot take?
