How many of you feel like you're making enough to live a comfortable life? I make 90K, and it's not the worst salary, but being in a family of four, it's a real struggle. My wife is currently unemployed, so I've been living paycheck to paycheck for the last few months. How do the rest of you feel?

I’ve been there too, living paycheck to paycheck, stressing over bills and groceries. It’s exhausting and can really weigh on you emotionally. Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you work, it’s never quite enough to feel truly comfortable. Just know you’re not alone, and it’s okay to admit it’s tough right now.

I'm interviewing with KKR for a Principal role in their real estate group. All online salary resources are all in alignment with a total comp of $200k+. I'm assuming based on the average salary reported across these portals for principal that those figures apply to the RE group as well. Anyone have any direct knowledge or can speak to that group's comp?

Does anyone know if principals are in cubicles or doe they get an office?

I’m having a hard time understanding the salary /TC ranges for mid- to senior-level strategy positions in the Denver area (10-15 YOE). They seem to vary a lot, and are broadly low vs. other markets (mid $100k-low $200k vs TC closer to $300-$400k+ on the coasts). Any observations? Which companies would you look at for more substantial comp outside consulting?
