Would you all be happy with 500k as a peak career salary if you were able to sustain it for 10 years?

100%!
I’d rather staying at $500K with a decent WLB and being healthy vs shooting for more at the expense of WLB and personal health.
With proper savings and investing $500K for 10 years can generate great wealth which should be more than enough.

Doing what?

Any job

unsure yet

Yes but if I had a family I’d want total HHI to be higher to be able to save more aggressively and not have to work until my 60s.

Yes. Especially if I could invest the earnings into other income vehicles (e.g., stocks, real estate, etc.) and keep my living costs low (e.g., pay off my primary home.)

This is exactly what I’m executing on rn.

Salary or TC?

^ I rest my case

No but fortunately I’m well past that point.

Cool bro - just the content we were seeking. Pet yerself and go write some PIPs.

Absolutely. Anywhere outside of NYC or SF

$1m+ as partner at ghSMART with freedom and flexibility means sub 3% turnover and 10-20 year stint is super doable. And have a life. DM me if you want to meet our head of talent.

What are your thoughts on pay discrepancies based on family structure? Ex.

Is that an ethical factor if both employees do the same job at the same pace, quality, etc?
