People can talk smack about the consulting industry all they want, but it let me hit my fire number in my 30s. #Blessed

Snobby, stupid, and zero social or common sense.

Yeah same but in general you’d expect them to know how to put together a coherent chart
Not sure what happened with OP

What are these numbers and charts?

OP, how'd you manage to make that much money while still thinking 1871 data is relevant to future economic projections??

The problem with trust fund babies is that they cannot draw good charts or know anything about spending. And then they take on a job and want to convince themselves they are “self made” . I will be happy and “blessed” to inherit my grandma’s money. So it’s OK.

Like it’s simple - what is exactly your role at McKinsey and what is your disposable cash you have that allows you to stop working at McKinsey at 30? What actions you took to get there ? Because unless you made partner at 25 or you want to live in a trailer , you have nothing close to this number

FIRE= financial independence, retire early. So when are you retiring ?

For others at McKinsey, wtf has happened to your hiring standards ? Like do they not understand the difference between net worth and stock market projections ?

Congratulations! I am not young as you and not anywhere near these numbers. But I am happy in the place I am.
I mostly see self deprecating comments of working in consulting and wonder why folks continue if they compare this line of work to being in the sewer; getting peanuts. I do feel the same stress and power politics but I think we are all adult enough to face it. Most of us forget we agreed to the employment for the salary we agreed upon.

Nice. I'm mid 30s and nowhere near your numbers. I still have done better than I expected for myself, though. I used to totally love consulting, for the challenges, for interesting work, for the money. I still love the first two, but no longer love the money. I haven't had a raise in 3 years, the whole company hasn't had it. And my friends who left to the industry make more. Consulting is not as prestigious pr desirable as it used to be, imho.

The point is that you could have hit that figure faster and have a 2-3x higher net worth if you had joined a similarly selective role in tech 10 years ago when you graduate

I’m currently taking a complete break from dating (no one on the horizon, no hung up on an ex, no dating apps) in order to get back to being myself and figuring out what I want, and in that self reflection I’ve realized that I have met/dated so many people who think or say they are dating to find their person, but are really just filling some void or insecurity. I think we get so caught up in always needing to date to fill our short term loneliness that we stop thinking long term goals and needs
