What do you do that you earn six figures?

It seems like a lot of people make a lot of money and it seems like I’m missing out on something. So those of you that do, whats your occupation that pays so well?

How long have you been in public? I left for industry last year and it has been a game changer.

Same pay, fewer hours. Best change ever. I wouldn't stay in public unless I was fairly certain I'd make partner one day.

I agree, I’d still rather be a CFO at a shitty mid-size company and make the same amount as a partner at B4 most of the time.

Yeah our partners didn't have lives outside of work. It was obvious they were the type who preferred to be at work instead of home, which isn't me at all.
