Those of you who earn more than like $150k or even $200k, do you feel like you deserve that salary? I'm starting to feel guilty that I'm earning so much and I don't have nearly enough work to fill a 40 hour week.

I make 400 K, and yes I deserve it. I feel I deserve a lot more when the CEO takes home 20 million per year.

Stop sucking up to corporations

20 million? That's a bit under, if you're talking about Matt Garman. He took home more than 30 mil in 2024

Absolutely. It’s also easy to justify when I’m billing clients $600-800k a year for my time.

Ask internally facing senior partners if they feel like they are worth $1m - $2m

You do know a couple on social benefits in the US makes $150k for not working right?

If/ When you get to higher levels (i.e 400/500K) , you really need to work to earn it and I do think your perception will change. Right now you haven’t had to work that hard, you haven’t had to win a coveted position or early promotion. These things aren’t freebies.
