What is your profession, how many hours do you work each week and how much do you make a year?

Is that all salary or plus year end bonus as well?

I am also a self-employed CPA. I earn about $150k and bill on average 15-20 hours per week.

The work is dull but my schedule is nice and I take a lot of vacations. Most of my income comes in during the first half of the year.

Spouse is a federal physician and makes about $350K but works 65 hours per week. It's a non-stop 65 hours---no time for lunch, phone calls, bathroom breaks, etc.
It's a point of contention for us; I solo parent the kids while also working full time.

Prob at a VA hospital.

Risk management at a large financial institution, 13 years in.

125k base salary + 15-20k bonus, so 140-145k total.

40 hours a week (3 days WFH), very flexible and can accommodate my needs as the default parent (i take care of most dropoffs, all pickups and kids' appointments). I also goto the gym during the work day.

I'm potentially jumping ship soon to another firm for a promotion and (hopefully) 165-170k total comp including bonus. I'm hoping to maintain my current flexibility but we will see.

Recruiter. I work somewhere between 20-30 hours a week, all from home. I’ll clear 1M this year in commissions. I’m very good at my job and this is not typical numbers.

Your butt is going to get shown the door soon if you're telling the truth. 40 hours worked is 35 hours, at best, which means you're barely breaking 1800 hours a year. Good luck after the lay off.

I would like to hear more about this! What setting? Law firm? Solo? In house? What type of law? $350k for 30 hours is not bad.

I’m an equity partner in a litigation boutique.

DP. Doubtful unless there’s a lot of competition within the group for work. The billing rates these days pay for an associate salary in the first couple months of the year. Even accounting for overhead there’s a LOT of cushion for associates to coast and still be part of the profit generation machine. Partners just don’t want them to know.

Some of us “bill” 1800 hours. Read between the lines there.
