Does anyone feel like the idea that we make a lot of money is a bit odd, unless you're MBB?
In public sector consulting (B4) w/ 5 YOE, I'd expect to make 100-120k--roughly same as a nurse that far...

I'll also note that if you and your SO are each earning $110,00 per year, that puts you in the top 7% from a household income perspective. And you're only 5 years into your careeer

One last thing to unpack here: I have zero personal insight into nurse salaries, but a quick Google seems to indicate their salaries are drastically lower than your estimate

like

Ultimate cap is far lower, as someone who’s wife is a nurse practitioner, she’s right at $110k and that’s with a doctorate. Her future salary growth is also basically flat - 2-4% per year which will barely keep pace with inflation and limited advancement opportunities. Even chief nursing officers at an individual hospital don’t make that much - $200-$300k and getting to CNO is a far less likely outcome than getting to PPMD while earning far less

I think that's a big part of the problem, and it sucks.

I came into public sector consulting to help people "at the national level". But jeez maybe I should've gone into medicine to make at least as much (former pre-med, now more focused on foreign policy) while being part of a field that people more clearly see as helping the community. People sometimes just see us as those "dirty contractors". Worst of both worlds.

I don’t think anyone is under the impression the public sector consultants are rolling in money considering 90% of the work is staff aug.

Into his/her career, assuming they get an MSN after a few years of work.
Commercial consultants at the B4 make more, but not an order of magnitude more.

I don't get how people think we roll around in piles of money - especially public sector consultants - when no one thinks like that about nurses.

I’m in MBB and I do find it odd that we get paid so much. Market rates etc. etc. but it’s still disconcerting
