I know this is going to be different for everyone but I’m curious: what is the total comp package that made you feel like you were making enough?

It's really about the speed and size of my raises. I adjust my expenses and lifestyle over time, so if the raises don't give me enough time to calibrate, that's when I feel like I am making enough. Then, over time, I start thinking again that I'm not making enough as my taste becomes more expensive.

Reminds me of that Don Draper quote: What is happiness? It's the moment before you need more happiness.

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?
