It seems everyone on dc urban moms makes tons of money - but when I look at available jobs - they are usually a pay cut from my current salary ($215,000 and I am 50!). I work for an international organization so the natural alternatives would be government, government contractors, NGOs, think tanks. I’ve started thinking about transitioning to the private sector but have been surprised to see that Director level positions at many companies seem to pay not much higher than government. So curious to know what you all do?

I think a lot of them are including equity or other non-salary compensation. I have a coworker who's wife makes about 400k - she helped found a business that took off. Most of that 400k is profit sharing she splits with the other partners. I also have met a few people at FAANGs who make 300k+ but over half of that is stock.

What exactly do you do in Tech? I am a woman too.

What do you do? I am in early 40, Female. In Tech still at 163 K including bonus. I am certainly doing something wrong.

I don’t think so—I’m same as you and I make $166k plus 25% bonus on the West Coast. Back in DC it was about $140k total. That’s pretty standard in my industry for this role.

Um... that's called tax fraud, not "tax free income"

How so? It is cash transactions and not traceable. How would the government know?

It's still fraud. You're supposed to claim all your income on your taxes.

God willing I'm back in private practice and over 200k or ideally 250k soon.

If you are at 177k, you must be a financial regulator, or maybe SES. If the former, you should be able to get to $200k in not too many more years. You won't make it to 250k unless you are very senior, but you can get close with a promotion or two.

That’s a topped out 15 salary. They may get an end of year bonus.
