What kinds of jobs / titles have the best rate per hour “worked” ? 300K TC with 80 hour work weeks technically is the same as a 40 hour work week with a 150K TC. Thoughts?

Marginal utility only makes sense if what you can do scales. A 300K TC at 80 hours is objectively worse, because your marginal cost of that 80th hour is really high given limited hours in a week.

The question you want to ask I think is: what marginal increase is needed to keep up with marginal cost? Which then needs you to answer what is your marginal cost curve. For most, it's exponential and subjective, but a 400K at 80hours might feel the same as a 150K at 40

Finally to answer your question: > 300K TC needs to separate high COL areas from low.

Generally, high tech skills or high EQ skills make this amount:

- engineering / coding
- exec mgmt
- sales

I'm a depressed 32 yrs old single with 8 YOE. Last drawn CTC was 5 LPA even after switching 5 companies.
When I see Ppl with 18LPA or 23LPA with 4 or 5 YOR, I really feel my gut wrench with sadness wishing I had that CTC.
I need to put up things right to rebuild my life all over again. What do I do?
