Saw someone post that it’d be pretty low to cap out your career at 250k. What TC do most white collar folks here cap out at if you can’t make partner?

Getting to 250 ish isn’t too hard. The 250 to 300 range is much harder and above that beyond hard for most roles outside of consulting. It’s typically a VP level role or strong tech role.

C1 - I’m Tech consulting and mine is identical salary bands compared to my friends in our Strategy Insights and Planning vertical … I imagine the 300- low mil comp at P reflects the same

290-340 TC seems to be a pretty solid cap

Yeah, typically at VP level, 2 levels below C suite. Few make it to SVP/ MD or C suite / Partner.

So I hit 237 base, 280 TC. Well beyond what I ever thought I’d do, but I know my limits and was never going to some super senior level.

If I am given the option to cruise like this, I would. Up or out makes it a bit complicated, and the idea of finding another role in industry that would pay me this much is slightly terrifying.

Almost $300k is a lot of money. It’s a good level to cruise at if you can control the hours. Otherwise consider product manager roles in tech. There’s maybe another $100k upside from that.

The non-partner cap varies substantially from firm to firm and industry to industry. Just looking at the US, you might have non-partners capping out in the mid $300s in strat at some firms or capping out in the low $200s doing the same work in a different firm. Or you might have a federal tech implementation cap at, say, $250k at one firm and $180k at another firm. And so on.

I’ll be making that in a few years into my career, a few decades before my “cap”

Incredible how so many people fail to understand what an average is

funny

Around 500k

Is it possible to love someone in a romantic but “non sexual” way?

Not to say by any means that sex is ruled out, but instead of sexually fantasizing about them, your primary drivers for loving them are who they are as a person, similar life journey etc, and that you would love to have a future with them?

PSA for the day: don’t forget to tell the people you care about, that you care about them. Do it before it’s too late. Do it before it’s gone. Otherwise at some point, they are gone, and you have no one to blame but yourself. All relationships (family, friends, work) need continuous nutrition to grow. Great relationships don’t just happen, they take work.
