I have 8 yrs exp in consulting and my sal is like 40-50K less than my peers. Full confession: I am lazy. But expert level SAP consultant. I dont want to switch for money, cannot spend all that I earn but mostly bcoz I detest giving interviews. Is it okay if I choose to be where I am or does it hurt anybody other than maybe myself?

Honestly my guy/gal, some interviews are really easy and if you are that lazy you could just put minimal effort into interviewing until you get an offer that's a pay boost despite your low effort.

But otherwise to answer your question, I don't think you're doing anything wrong you're just lazy. If you want kids though, you should probably stop being lazy bc kids are expensive!

I should

I'm lazy too, but learn how to be lazy and still give off the impression of being a hardworker. I put in about 20 hours per week now and still get stellar reviews from everyone. It helps when you're efficient.

40-50k is a lot, I would jump.

It is completely fine!

Everyone tops out eventually in life and in career. Feel glad that there is nothing left to climb and it's all down hill from here career wise.

Yes. With the existing WLB, so much time to pursue other things in life

Just know some places are up or out, not giving you a choice.

How do you know you're 40 50 lower? I ask bc I thought I was underpaid compared to my peers too, but turns out it wasn't far off. So you may not be behind as much as you think you are! Also, interviews aren't that bad. Look for places that like you for who you are, if it's not a fit, then it just not a fit!

I have many friends in same domain and technology and we all started together but they switched like 2-3 times and they are now at 40-50K higher TC.
