All the high salary people, $300k+ , do you ever consider your partner’s salaries when you were dating as a go/no go?

We were both poor students when we were dating. My wife was a better student then me and her future seem brighter than mine. Now she is a happy staying home mom…lol

Nope, simply unrealistic to expect my partner to make as much as me. Great if they do, but would rather index on other factors

Index on other factors 😂

You can factor that in. But how are you going to justify if he/she is comfortable with a $45k salary but has a trust fund that can shell out $500k a year? Not to bring you down, but high salary ain’t sht bro.

Look for other qualities. Are they trustworthy? Do they have good values? Are they honest? Money is everywhere; you just need the reason to earn it.

$300k is high?

Relatively speaking, yeah that's over the 95th percentile

No, as long as they don't resent my success or only want to be with me for my money then I don't really care

If the dude is the one making more then it doesn’t matter.

She won’t respect her man if she out earns him

Hi everyone,

I just graduated from my bachelors and I have received an offer for 3k per month (incl bonus) from Accenture in tech consulting (level 11), which was my top choice. However, I am not very satisfied with the pay so I wanted to ask:
1. I might also get offers from PwC or Deloitte, are they likely to pay more?
2. Is that enough to live a comfortable life in Amsterdam Zuid?
