30 years old
Management level
$110k
8:30- 5 and take an hour most days for lunch (errands)

I could be making $50k more elsewhere but it would mean 12 hour days. Not worth it.

I am 36, work from home 8-5, rarely take lunch, $185k. The work from home is unique and my company makes it work since the alternative is that I quit (commuting was too much). I don’t think it’s about time spent at work - it’s the value you bring.... I manage a large team and direct a lot of our firms strstegic investments.
