Do people come to DCUM for any reason other than to brag about their finances? This entire site a huge, self-congratulatory circle j**k with some parenting questions thrown in to give it a veneer of respectability.

Lol. You’re on the finance forum and you’re surprised finances are being discussed? Wander on over to one of the other forum’s that interest you.

I disagree. It's very helpful to see what other people are making, both within and outside of my industry. It allows me to better negotiate my own salary. I think transparency is very helpful.

I’d take the transparency here with a HUGE grain of salt.

I hear this type of comment a lot on DCUM -- people who earn less than others, and therefore assume that the high-earner is exaggerating. Instead of assuming that someone is exaggerating, it might be wise to accept that many people earn more than you do.

Wow, I would be interested in learning about your career trajectory sans identifying details. TBH, more interested in how you got there with kids. I assume you have kids, because, you know, it’s DCUM.

Why the eye roll?

Very low for attorney. A paralegal i know claims to make 150k

Senior paralegal with a ton of overtime (think multi-month trial 80+ hrs/wk) could definitely hit that.

It's always worth it. You need to have your own income (more than you make now).

+1 And you need to have workplace skills.

Everyone should work as far as I am concerned. Paid work helps build competencies, it helps reinforce positive self-esteem, you provide to society through your tax contributions, etc.

It's a negative number. Working is a net loss right now.

Meh, you don't have to do that forever though. There are better uses of some people's time, and better ways to help society, as long as retirement is lined up well enough.
