Need a little motivation.

Let me hear your average state school, current age, current salary, and salary goal.

Florida State, 23, 75k, goal of 150k before I’m 30.

No Ivy league LARPers. I get it I know you’re better than me

I flunked out of the University of Illinois. Finished my bachelors at a bottom tier state school. Made partner this year. ~700k depending on how exactly COVID impacts how we do this year. I’m 38. Would love to crack 7 figures by the time I’m 40.

It’s your life, you’re young and you have plenty of time, chart the course you want to follow.

AD1 - everyone I know on this app is a consultant or in tech. Your sample size is based on who you know. And I’m 37, making the same as P1 (tech, not consulting). Your experience group is not the whole world.

Community college equivalent 4 yr, 25, 60k (sr promo in October), goal is to be happy. Don’t really care about salary as long as I can live comfortably.

I agree. As I’ve grown older (and hopefully wiser lol), I’ve realized the true goal is to be happy and fulfilled. I used to worry about making over 100k at X age and realized I was over stressing myself to become this image thinking it would satisfy me. Wrong. My mother is a spitting image of that and the realization of me trying to become just like her...scary. But my mom is a whole different beast and definitely not the norm. Lol Comfortable, fulfilled, and content.

Thanks for fixing haha. I went to state school for undergrad so I'm a public school student at-heart, despite my Ivy League degree. If you graduate from a flagship state school, that's well-known in the area where you work, I think you have a good shot at high earning potential.

International state school that's only known in that state, not even nationwide, forget internationally. No grad school. No certifications. No student loans.
Just pure hussle.
$95 base at 30. $150 base. 32.

Bruh I went to like the equivalent of South Central Florida State Technical College. Florida State would have been a dream. Lol

Not participating in a dick measuring contest but go noles

University of Florida, 28, ~200K all in.

Tbh not a straight path to get there (BCG doesn’t target UF at all) but it is possible.

I just learned that Disney Board Members get paid $300K /year + perks to sit in a few meetings and read a bunch of SEC filings before they get issued.
Sure, they’re accomplished and it’s a high-responsibility role (although Mgt are the ones w the real pressure), but let me tell ya, I just changed my compensation goals. I want to be a board member someday 😂

Hey OP I’m from FSU. Shoot me a DM

That’s a damn good salary for 23 AC! I am embarrassed to say what I was making at 23. But it was a different time. I just turned 40 and I am living very comfortably and doing well by NY standards. I also don’t kill myself with long hours anymore. Those days are over. Not clocking more than 40 hours a week average this year, and am raising 2 little kids. I’d rather aspire to make moderately more in the coming years and have more time with my kids, vs make a lot more money and have to kill myself for it and risk missing their childhood.

I have never gone to the gym or really worked out, and want to make a change in my life to start exercising. I'm not sure how to handle post-workout showering though.

First time growing out hair and it's coarse/wavy/dry so it takes days for oils to distribute (so oily scalp) due to pushing off washing -- when I do wash, I shampoo only the scalp and will conditioner the rest of my hair. I'm afraid of overwashing, but if I don't wash my hair after I sweat, it will frizz and poof up. Any advice?
