How do people get high paying jobs?

I feel like the only way in consulting is to either job hop every year for 15%, wait till you’re a SM or partner, or work MBB with terrible wlb.

I can’t even afford a 1 bed room at the moment without hurting my savings

Edit: code for the right company 😆

I have seen extremely smart B4 developers. But they are constrained by clients or Partner/SM’s “consulting brain”.

I’m not from DC and even I can see that’s on a major thoroughfare.

What is your goal income? So many ways to get there. Industry jobs are pretty good paying compared to consulting tracks with stock grants built in

150k would be great - other industry jobs are def paying it.

Here at D, 150k is achievable at M and above which would take me 5 years on track.

Work a specialty position not a commodity one.

Equity

Business school. Even better if you can get Deloitte to pay for it. Consulting SCs fresh out of target schools make 165k base.

Other tip: move to Chicago, Houston or Philly to save money.

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week?

My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
