Software engineering, Data Analyst, Product Manager Anything technical in the tech industry.

Investment banking and private equity probably pays more too

It is one of the higher paying jobs, especially at an MBB or T2 with a candisn presence (Keanrey, Oliver Wyman, and maybe a small number of others). At these firms, you can be at 200K+ by the time you're 25. Not many other jobs would have you at that level at that age.

Medicine, IB, top tier consulting seem to pay the highest. Big law salaries aren't as high in Canada as in the US.

No one ever tells anyone consulting pays the most. It's doctor or lawyer or wall street kids or the geek coder. Idk who told you consulting, but you've been lied to buddy.

Honestly sales in the right industries is up there. Salesmen can easily make 6 figures and some 7, but it takes a specific mindset

This. Sales anywhere can make tons. But way more volatile and, like you said, a certain mindset. I’ve seen everything from recruiters, to solar salesman, to software sales make 7 figures when the stars align for a good year.

I just received an offer on a job I would really like to accept. The salary offer is about 25% higher than my current salary, which I am happy about, but is also the low $ on the range I had expressed to the recruiter and the exact $ that I put on the online application (I had to put a $ figure). Am I being greedy trying to negotiate for a bit higher? Do they expect me to counter? I have been burned by NOT negotiating in the past but who can be mad at a 25% increase??

I am looking for ideas for a high school intervention class with students reading at PP-4th. I am a brand new teacher and have never taught intervention but we are extremely short staffed. I inherited the class mid-last semester and the former teacher had no framework whatsoever. I'm pulling grade level texts and trying to work on reading fluency and comprehension but don't feel like what I'm doing is effective, and the students are not very engaged. Any great resources I should check out?

I recently started my own firm. We primarily do ID.

This would eliminate any billing pressure and give attorneys the freedom to decide how much they want to work/earn. Anyone have any thoughts on whether this would be fair and/or a good idea?
