Are there really jobs out there that pay $400,000 or even $500,000 a year? I mean, besides CEO. How can one earn holy cow money? Does anyone here do it?

Recruiting, sales

funny

I guess I got a laughing response from someone that doesn’t understand how much recruiters can make

Imagine most people would point to MD or similar senior roles in finance, consulting, PE or tech. Top firms a level below (especially PE/tech where that is mid-level).

C-suite at most public companies would also hit that range or significantly surpass.

400k is starting total comp at places like citadel or Jane street. Any BB bank it would be mid vp total comp for many front office roles.

Doctors I believe?

Some on way more

Become a MD or Partner in a consulting firm

Majority of the PE/HF/VC front office roles will get you there

Big tech too depending on role once you factor in RSUs

For consulting, especially at MBB or Tier 2- Pretty straight forward to get there 6-7ish years post undergrad assuming you keep going up as it’s up or out for every 2 years or so.

There are many jobs in banking that pay $400k and more.

Everyone VP and up (~30 years old) in investment banking, private equity, and private credit

Yes, I work in private credit and make $400k cash at a shop that pays below market and am only 30. Currently considering a lateral to another local shop that would pay $600k cash for same role/title

Based on these responses, it feels like everyone is making this kind of money

Nahhhh it’s just finance guys who really like to boast (most of them spend it all and would be poor if they lose their job)

Yes there are many by raw count, but few by percentage.

Freelance. It’s the only way.

sales, finance, or business ownership

Hi fishes!! My joining at EY GDS is in 1 month and I have received an email related to background verification from first advantage.
* Is that the correct website where we need to provide all details for background verification? * * Also for permanent address should we give current address or permanent home address ? If they come for residence verification what do they ask or check?

I hurt. I feel like I can never do enough to get ahead. Can't seem to land a new job to make enough money to survive. And as a man whenever I talk to someone about how I'm feeling all I get is, "Welcome to being a husband and father!" Every 1 step forward I try and take i get pushed 2 steps back. Feeling incapable.

Was accepted into a T15 program without a scholarship and currently waiting to hear back from a T20 where I feel I have a great shot.

Do you think that promotion and/or a scholarship offer from the T20 would be enough negotiating leverage?
