How do you come to terms with the reduced income trajectory that will happen when you exit to industry? I know it's possible to leave for industry with quite a big jump in salary, but after that salary growth seems downright stagnant. How do you turn your back on the possibility of making a million a year's a partner? I know not everyone would actually make it to partner, but still.

Moved to industry. Was reduced from 225K to 200K base. Base deceased but TC wise, doubled. Great WLB and of course it is slow but it all depends with the team and the role. Being here, seems like I could be making as much as the partners if I make it to VP level. Taking consideration for refreshers and bonuses, I am happy with the move.

Think about it in $/hr. No one dies wishing they worked longer hours or pushed for a promotion.

NPV of all your lifetime earning is very low if you have no health and energy to spend it. You're just missing a couple variables in your objective function

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.
