Yep! 27 F here. I have 6/6. Well I guess 5.5/6. I don’t have a six pack but I do work out 5-6 days a week and think my body is pretty solid :) I feel so blessed every day. In fact, today’s actually my birthday, and I wished for everything to be exactly the same next year as it was this year.

I will be sure to let the rest of the group know if you are a 5.5/6 :)

Just left D for Google, so now all 6 for me (27 M)

Sorry, I don't have a 6 pack but I am in good shape

Wow 0/6 for me. Now I feel bad on thanksgiving

Comparison is the thief of joy. Just because you have these elements in your life doesn’t make a person happy. The people I know who seem to have their lives the most “together” are the most unhappy. Focus on what makes you happy, not society or what you think is the ideal life. I spent too many years of my life chasing that dream opposed to what I really want.

Yes! But one caveat. I’m not <30.

I have all 6 of these and feel pretty happy. I don't think this framework applies to everyone though. Some people's dream job doesn't make them over $200k.

With regards to how I achieved all 6 of these, I started waking up at 5am and follow a pretty strict schedule.

Salesforce will be 40-50 hours a week remote until 2022 and then will have a hybrid working model, most likely going in office 2-3 times a week vs Morgan Stanley will be on average 60 hours a week in office full time. Is it worth the 30K extra in compensation to commute to office daily + 10-20 more hours per week? In terms of pay progression, I think Morgan Stanley will definitely be a lot fast
