Ha! Yeah, consultants make a lot of money for not having to do a whole lot lol
Real estate agents. I feel like all they do is opening the doors. Can be easily automated
Agree. Paying them a % of the house value is not reflective of their effort. Do they work twice as hard for a $400k house over a $200k house?
It's the President of the United States when he uses the position solely to enrich himself while screwing everyone else over in the process.
Name another job that is responsible for $6.5T and is paid $400k.
Regardless the person in office the salary is not overpaid.
Now the hidden benefits and the fact that they all come out rich is a topic for another day and place.
Vloggers, influencers
Doctors
Avg family doctor/ ER salary is 200-300k . Only specialized Drs make over 500k and the amount of education (cost) and low paid training (opportunity cost) is immense. Most Drs make real money by early to mid 30s then still have 200k+ of debt
Big law
Consultants for sure
Real estate agents
Insurance sales
Junior consultants with no real work experience
Paid the least vs now does not mean not overpaid.
A Marketing Manager
Everybody on fishbowl
Rising Star
Corp middle managers, speaking as one lol
I pretty much forward emails and delegate ppl to do the actual work and make 300k
Rising Star
Executive Director
Marketers and bankers are pretty high on the list as well.
Basically anything corporate
No longer a banker, but I think there is a caveat. Personal bankers are underpaid. Private Bankers, however, are grossly overpaid...but then again, anything with "whiteglove" service is.
Consultants and Accountants for sure
Thank you. Again, I was from the outside looking in. Very cool that they do all that
Marketing Manager Be Like:
-“Let’s circle back” = I forgot what I promised and hope you did too.
-Thinks rebranding is slapping a gradient on the logo and raising prices.
-Hasn't written a single email without the words “excited,” “innovative,” or “game-changing.”
-Lives in Canva, dies by engagement metrics they don’t actually understand.
-“Data-driven decisions” = they picked the chart with the prettiest colors.
-Presents a quarterly report that’s just screenshots of Instagram posts and vibes.
-Confuses virality with relevance—and thinks 12 likes is a movement.
-Pitches the same strategy every meeting, just rearranged in a different PowerPoint theme.
-Doesn't know yet that consultants are going to their jobs and get paid more to do just for the lulz.
1000% consultants. How to you become an expert worth paying so much when you have no actual experience doing the job and constantly being reassigned to new industries
Young consultants are not sold as experts but smart brains who you can outsource analysis and problem solving to.
Does not mean we’re not overpaid, but it’s an important precision imho :)
