I think founders are the effing worst. Can't stand their level of hubris - especially in the minority investing side.

Like the different industries and projects of consulting.

WLB is better and I'd rather take some extra cash upfront and lose out on the carry piece long run ... should still make a good chunk of change that's more than enough for my lifestyle and children's inheritance

What group at A&M?

Damn I wish I understood that when I was younger. I was all over the place , now I’m back at 0 and have to start from the bottom again at 40ies . Due to taking care of the ill parent for 5 years and last 3 years getting sick myself.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you are doing ok!

Did you experience any lifestyle creep once you broke 400K? I feel like making around 200K is where you can save a decent amount and spend sort of freely so I can only imagine what I’d be doing with 400K+

I'd say there's a balance. Especially since I have 2 kids and my spouse doesn't work.

Yes, we have nice cars (Audis) and shop and Whole Foods. However we are pragmatic about the situation and don't go first class and buy expensive items every month. Still gotta save for the next house and all future kids expenses.

Kids add up more than you think. Anyone who says differently doesn't get it or is in denial. You think I'm happy that my daughter is obsessed with $3 macro bars????

Great progression. What’s your base since joining A&M?

Great story. What was your career level when you returned to A&M? What’s your current career level? Thanks
