I'm content now, so I suppose 95-100k/yr before tax is good. Lots of Aussies (let alone Aussies my age) live with less and sometimes even have family to support on that, so I feel really fortunate with what I have. I'm able to rent a decent flat, have a career that I like and isn't physically or mentally exhausting, and even though I spend too damn much on takeaway I always have something to save or invest every month, so I can't begrudge that too much.

I’m content now on a Senior Strategy Manager salary, but to have kids and not feel squeezed on a family home mortgage, a Head Of or higher salary would be helpful.

To give my kids the lifestyle I grew up with in Melbourne (detached family home with a yard and double garage + private school), I would have to make it to the Executive Leadership Team…

What is a Head of salary level?

Family of 3 on a single income of ~$200k base pre tax. Bit tight now but once my spouse starts working the $100-$150k additional should be comfortable.
