Pick your horse and ride it.
Meaning you can't marry super rich or a blue blood family. You dont have the pedigree or fancy degree or big job.
But you can pick a horse to ride in the race and ride him to victory.
My old job in Big four girls from local colleges around 27-30 with parents who were like cops, firemen, consturction workers who was first gen college whould grab a guy who was manager on track for senior manager than hopefully Partner or someone they met at client who was on track. Usually a guy with there background but a go getter with better career prospects. Then you ride him to winners circle. If you were already rich you would pick the horse that already won the race.
Today girls want to be senior managers themselves.
How is it possible to not understand. You pick the guy at manager/sr. Manager level who you think will make Partner.
Example my own wife. We are both blue collar and neither parent went to college and both immigrants.
When we met she made exactly $100 a year more than me. She $55,100 and me $55,000. However, at 32 she was already sick of rat race and old boys club at work and wanted to get married and have kids.
We married and based on fact I was broke, family broke she still thought with a MBA and being tall, good looking, white male she could ride me to winners circle. With her support behind scenes in first ten years of marriage we had 3 kids and moved my salary from 55k to 400k
My SIL ride my more successful brother from 60k to 750k with her community college degree.
My wife’s friend ride a guy from zero to one million a year! She was a nurse married guy in “draw” on Wall Street and he made it to top.
