I make about 1.2M, my wife makes about 700k. I’m a tenured MD (L2), and my wife is a VP at a large pharma. These numbers are total comp (base, bonus, and stock - for both of us). It varies based on bonus amounts and stock price, but it’s directionally correct.

It’s like any career with an advanced degree. I chose government first and obviously that doesn’t pay well but the goal was to become a subject matter expert in my area and become marketable to the private sector

I’m not there yet, but but I’m on that path and i’m in product management

MBA background
strategy consulting at one of the big firms
and then went into big tech

Been there for a few years. M&A consultant with deep experience (15 yrs, 200+ deals )

Yes. IB

Been above that for cash comp for several years. Key for me was high variable comp (30-45%). Have a lot of experience in IT and M&A with 3 advanced degrees so have been in demand most of my career. Blessed to also have a spouse in similar space so we’ve been doing very well.

What type of work do you do? Most m&a tech integration? Partner level?
