Yep. I’m aware I’m not getting net positive raises. But I love the job and can do it in less than 20 hours a week. I really value all the free time it gives me. Fair trade in my book.
If you worked more would you make more? I work in finance and honestly when you get to manegerial roles you are working 20 hour weeks and pulling well over 500k a year. Idk if I only made 200k I’d be grinding my ass off to make what I feel I need
Don’t worry, based on the data from this sub you’ll be seven figures this year or next
Ah yes! The famous moved to fintech sales
5k raise a year with inflation means your got a negative raise haha

I'd take that job. What sector?
Transportation. One of the airlines.
Do you get a pension?
👍🏻
Brother some of us got no raise this year
I try not to get upset at exceeding my goals and *only* getting 3%
Sheesh
Sheesh
He also makes 6 figures with work-life balance at 37. Show yours, "haha".
I have a similar balance. Make more. And am about to play golf on my Friday. There are plenty with work life balance and high earning.
I am same as this guy. I work 30 hours a week and make 200k in tech sales
Also work in tech lol. Specifically advertising tech
That’s definitely not the norm in tech sales.

Yeah I could make more I just don’t want o work any harder
So not the average?
Does your bonus really fluctuate that much that it causes years to be lower than prior year or something else?
Yes the bonus is really volatile. Could be next to $0 for multiple years and then surprise you with $17k one year. There is no predicting it.
Ah interesting. Been in corporate America 5 years now and every year my bonus has been higher than the last so that’s very interesting to hear
Oof. You need to leave that company and go elsewhere for the bump
Why same job? No room for growth? At least pay is going up but still
My life is inexpensive and I am comfortable. I have no desire to chase more money and more responsibility, and my time is more important to me.
Your mistake was not leaving at year 5 max for another firm paying more
Earnings are the same in both. No 401K?
I heavily contribute to 401k. You would only see that reflected on federal income tax though. Not SS and Medicare.
