What's a good salary for a man in this area?

Most are married from meeting future wife in grad school.

$100-200k plus bonuses in his 20s

$250k-$750k all-in in his 30s

$500k-2m in his 40s

Consult and sit on boards after age 55

Investing most of the excess money.

THe guy you described is going to have a permanently revolving door of 25 year old girlfriends until he's 80. He doesn't need to marry

This is all the PE, VC, hedge fund, Big Law litigators, successful life science start ups, successful tech start ups, specialized surgeons, and best seller book journalists glad and guys in the area.

Ma'am, this is DC, not the bay area

I’m always trying to improve at work and am looking at what it takes to get to the next level. I don’t think I would be happy with a beta personality. So my answer is if I can earn $200k, why can’t he?

Consider that two similar personalities might clash more than one mellow and one intense.

There are lots of buyside shops here and life sciences up 270, most of the former clerks and litigators, and a to. If telco and tech, and over 4 huge hospital systems/most teaching hospitals too. Top think tank fellows m, if publishing and have royaltiesC make big money.

Just hang out at the cathredral schools and Sidwell friends and ask what the parents do for a living.

And the women looking such men are in their early to mid-twenties and at least Miss State (any state) or Miss USA in the last three years. Others will remain spinsters for life if they are looking for such men to marry.

+1. Royalties are almost nothing. People who work at think tanks could not get into academia OR have family money enabling them to pursue those jobs.

Date/marry someone who is a doer/has drive toward something that matters. The money will follow.

Nooooo! Don't marry potential. It was a way of disappointing you

Mine made more than I ever expected -- but, it was incredibly demanding on me to get there with him and I had to give up essentially everything I wanted out of life except children, and him.

Sounds like you married the guy you loved and not just his potential, which is great. I hope you are able to get back to finding ways to love yourself too.

Depends. What that woman has to offer herself, high potential or high achieving men have standards too, they want equal partner. Also, a man earning $500k with high debt or an ex and 2 kids has less net worth and more liability than someone earning $200k.

Yes. Otherwise it would look like the network was paying them to say something specific. So, they will provide chauffeured transportation but no pay.

It's amazing to me the bubble that people live in. Someone actually thought people get paid for TV appearances? lol. TV barely makes any money anymore anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more segments on TV where a company/organization pays the producers to place a representative on the show

Potential matters. A 38 year old data scientist earning $200k at Amazon has less potential than a 31 year old Ivy lawyer earning $75k at DOJ. However, it'll take him longer to reach his potential by going in private practice or in corporate law.

Why? What’s DOJ person going to do? 90% of them bop around Club Fed for decades.

Yep, plus the added MAJOR downside of having to be married to a lawyer
