I’m always curious about these corp jobs. I’ve always worked at small companies so no idea how you advance to this position.

Did you start out in the mailroom/sales out of college? Get an MBA?

Well let’s be honest - 50% shit dumb luck.

The other 50% is more planned.

- Few years at a consulting firm
- Fee years at a corporate
- Back to consulting for a few more years
- Top tier MBA
- Back to corporate in higher level role (although many of my peers went to consulting which is the faster path)
- Jump around 2 - 3 times for big pay raises - that’s key

I would love to do this. How many years have you done this? Do you enjoy it? Good for you.

I am still new. So it should go up at the same rate as a teachers salary. It's actually really stressful, but should get easier as time goes on. Unfortunately I feel like I spend more time on paperwork than with kids, but when you get one of those breakthrough moments and connect with a student or you see their eyes light up with understanding, it feels worth it.

The school is a difficult setting, with huge caseloads and lots of red tape and crazy mandates. But it's nice to be able to make a difference and not just be in corporate world making rich people richer.

Yeah, this thread is BS. Everyone's path is different. And alas, to think we only measure worth based on income. There are a lot people who work hard, enjoy what they do and make nothing. There are others who work hard, enjoy what they do, and make goo gobs of dough. Whatever you do that aligns with your soul and way of making the world a better place will lead you to success. If that means pulling down $350K + bonuses, then huzzah for you. If it means teaching the next generation of young men and women, and that's $50K/year + $250 tax deduction for materials. I love you just the same. Local govt civil servant: $73K

The easiest way to stop them is to stop responding to them. As fewer people respond each time, they should die out. Someone will post and after less than 1 page of responses, it will scroll off the bottom of the recent pages and die.
