Bottom line: look at Capital One.

Wow, good to hear! I'm interviewing with Capital One now. Do you mind sharing your title/rank (not your identifying title, but the general term), ie - are you at the Manager or Director level, making $250K?

Also, is 8:30am - 4pm considered a full day? I had heard 9a-5p was the norm.

Director.

Make sure you can solve break even problems - it'll come up in the case.

Sr manager comp will be closer to $200, Sr Director comp closer to $300.

Oh and 9-5 is normal, but if your boss isn't a dick 8-4 is fine. People flex hours all the time. The point is to attend what makes sense, not to clock in face time. Everyone sets their own schedule within reason.

Forgot to add, comp varies significantly by job function. Ops doesn't pay what analysis does. What general job function you looking at?

Medical sales, 250k/year 3 hours a day

I left a job making $120k with flexible hours and work from home 1-2 times per week. It also had a $35k signing bonus and $75k stock vesting over 4 years. It was the dumbest thing I ever did. I had 10 years of experience in personnel security and law enforcement and was part of a corporate security and auditing team.

Being a project or portfolio manager at consulting, a GOOD one, could get you those kind of hours. We have one that even lives in California and teleworks most of her time. Nobody else could wing that but she's so good that people would do anything to keep her on the project. Another works part time but the salary isn't as high but she likes only having to work 32 hours a week and her skills are extremely well sought after. However, if somebody just rolled off the streets you won't get that luxury

I left because I felt I was getting pigeonholed into a specialty I didn't particularly enjoy. I liked the company, and even some of the people I worked with, but after a massive re-org things changed and our job duties started to be massively sucky. I made an impulsive decision, and for only $20k more per year, I have a longer commute, zero work from home, little flexibility, no paid leave besides federal holidays, and I don't even like the working environment. I just got an offer for a job that is $125 with flexible hours (but no work from home), a 10 minute commute, a good working environment, and plenty of days off.

I wish I didn't leave the original job though. It had a 20 week maternity leave an 8 weeks post-baby to ramp back into fill time by working part time hours. I want another baby can can't get past the idea of only having 12 weeks-with only 6 of them paid, and that isn't even 100% pay.

Yeah, but that's more akin to being a model: you kind of have to be born with it. Can't major in it, closest prep would be cheerleading.

Yes. Bonus for sr manager will be 30-50, bonus for director will be 50-90. On top of that you can add 7.5% 401k match, employee stock plan, deferred comp plan, etc.

What level are you looking at ?

Pulease...give me a break. You sound whiny and self entitled. There are jobs like that...but they go to people of both genders who have been working versus a SAHM. And for those who have been working vs procreating they often get much more than $150k per annum.

+1 Was a SAHM mom for past 4 years and just went back as a market research manager making $100K. Hours are 8-4, sometimes work at night to finish up a project but basically,it's get the job done and boss doesn't care where/when/ how its done. Work from home whenever I want to (though I prefer the office).
