Don’t justify why you want to make more $. Change the mindset, and you will notice life changing even more positively. (I am a certified psychotherapist). More power to you, take care.
Get into tech with significant equity and wait for stock to moon
Great question. Good news is I diversified most of it upon each vest. Bad news is I diversified into an ETF tracking the industry that crashed almost as much (WCLD)
Lesson learned
How did you manage the exit to D. Share that info for the rest of us Ms. pay it forward

Well, making a move in the hiring frenzy of 2021 helped.
I was also able over the years to land a number of particularly unique engagements across different industries, some of which focused on emerging areas that became hot and very valuable experience to have. Happened across a role that intersected especially well.
But building unique experience and stories that you and your interviewers are genuinely interested in is probably the best advice i can give. If you’re at any big consulting firm, there probably are opps to do that. Happy to DM further.

Try to pivot to FAANG-tier jobs. Director roles are $400-800k depending on area of expertise.
I’m L5 with 8 YOE and expect to get promoted next year so could be possible in low 30s
At $250-$300 if your kids are stressing your finances, that’s a you problem, not an income problem. Even in NYC.
300 in NYC is 160 after tax / deductions. With kids you need at least a 2 bed and anything decent nowadays is around 5k per month.
That’s 100k left for everything a family of 3 or 4 would need. Possible to manage but def not a comfortable life in HCOL place like NYC.
What industry? What level of M / company did you exit at?
Which location is this OP?

NYC area 😫
You’re at $250-300. Your kids will be fine <3
OP 250 base or TC?
My TC is around that as well, 300 seems high, I wish it were that high!
Whats considered significant? What was your position previously? Any tech experience?
What’s the breakdown of TC?
