No. Go be a L65 at Microsoft, work 30 hours a week and get paid $350k

How real is the annual stock grants? $65k per YEAR??

Anything above 55-60 can go screw itself unless it has 7 figures in it for me.

Oh no. It's like "Your money or your life". The world is one big stick up...

No way

No. Did the 70-80/wk before and would not recommend. Not in your 30s

can u find a job for 280 that only requires 60 hrs? lol

Lol haven’t been able to find but I’m sure it’s out there!

No

F yeah I would

No

Heck no

Would you take $450-550k for 70-80 hrs pw?

Have you compared the total lifetime earnings to the total life hours?

I was just thinking about this while also considering - If your not in LA/NY/Miami how much money do you really need to be happy? I think a lot of us have a “mental health number” the number that we’re willing to be miserable at for a few years to build a nest egg then get out.

It’s a marathon not a sprint. I tend to forget as well in hustle culture but don’t risk your health, well being, family, and personal hobbies for extra hours that come at a marginal comp increases.

AWS, MBB, consulting firms, banking, big law can all enjoy being miserable

Absolutely never

So choice between $77/hr vs $75-$96. Personally speaking, 70hrs/week is not worth the money because you will never have the time to spend that money!

No

Will be cc rev

Nope

It’s all relative. I find myself working 55 hrs after sometime and I am not making 220. I like some work life balance. But if that 350k role can get me to a role with less hours, I’ll take it at 30. Ask yourself the question about the upward mobility of both positions. If that’s what you want. This is more than just a straight math equation of money over hours.

No.

The driver shouldn’t be the money. So I wouldn’t change it unless it is for a much more interesting / motivating job

If no kids, then yes.

I did just leave kpmg for about that pay, but not that much hours. 70-90 is way too much for me.

Where did you go?
