How much money do you make?

110k contracts admin for a small-ish govt. contractor with a master's and 12 years experience. I think I'm well paid for what I do and have decent flexibility and good benefits (especially these days).

Not the PP, but lots of lawyers make $200K+ in my agency. The federal financial regulators, for example, all have their own pay authority and aren't on the General Schedule like other feds. Other agencies have this too, and can pay "retention allowances," etc that boost salaries.

Husband's income has more than tripled (to over $1.5 million annually) since we decided it was best for us for one of us to stay home while the other one ramped up his career.

Ugh. I think I'm underpaid. I'm in policy - also a director at a non profit, making $83K with a graduate degree and 14 years of experience. Do get lots of vacation and reasonable flexibility. The work is interesting at least but it would be nice to be making more. I think I deserve 90K but I'm a wimp.

I'm the PP who's making $120k. I also have a grad degree.

Why be a wimp? Life is short. No one will value you if YOU don't value you. I started my job 6 years ago and have asked for a raise no less than 4 times since then and have gotten one every single time. Things won't get handed to you, you need to ASK and make a good argument why you deserve to be paid more and then rock your new salary! You can do it!!

I agree with this PP - I am constantly surprised at how often I ask (AND RECEIVE) a raise- when I can support why it should happen.

136k, health and human services agency, 12 years experience and master's degree. I feel I am compensated fairly. Previously was in consulting for 10 years and academic research just prior.
