Honestly it depends entirely what circles you run in. I work in finance in NYC as a woman in her late twenties, so $150k would be on the low end, though I wouldn't ever be dismissive over something as superficial as current salary.

Relatively few men make will ever make $150k in this area. Relatively. What is your plan for outcompeting all your peers for a few percent of the available men?

Well I graduated from a top MBA program last year, so my social world is 100% a bubble- fully admit that. Out of 500 guys in my program, very, very few accepted jobs with starting salaries less than $150 (including signing bonuses). Most went back to private equity or started at hedge funds. And I had and continue to have zero trouble "completing" for them. They're my friends and their high paid coworkers are now my friends, and when I want to date them I do. I'd say 90% of my class lives in SF or NYC, though. You're not going to find these jobs in DC.

$150k doesn't go very far in SF or NYC.

At 32 you are getting quite old to be so picky, especially if you want to procreate (you realize your eggs go downhill fast at 35, right? And freezing is not a great bet.). You must have waited too long to start your program (and, yes, guys can afford to wait longer, just look at George Clooney! But ladies, not so much, just a fact of biology.) you really should have met and married someone in your MBA program. Now those guys are happily dating and marrying 28 year old bright and perky Ivy League lawyers, although I'm sure they are happy to take you out as a favor to friends. Your odds are not getting more favorable, pretty soon you will find all the musical chairs are taken and you can't compete. $150K will be the least of your concerns. Most women I know in your shoes settled for wealthy divorcees with young kids around 35 or stayed single for life (They sometimes make better husbands though because they have learned from their mistakes.) Seems like you have a lot of reality to reconcile with though.

Um...you seem to be projecting quite a lot. I make much more than $150k, am 31, and have an incredible active social life and wonderful group of grad school friends (among others). To get into a top MBA program you typically have to work for at least 4-6 years, and I was right at the average age-wise when I went/ graduated. My mom had me at 41 and my little brother at 44- I'm in no rush to start a family and be stressed about life in some dumpy suburb. I'm really happy and tons of guys that I work with and see regularly at events, etc. want to be with me. I don't need the external validation, but it's fun and I'm super content with life right now. Whenever that changes, I'll readjust. You should take a xanax.

In my 30s, I haven't really found that men have less interest in me. Maybe fewer overall, but they seem to be of a much higher quality. They appreciate that older women don't have the insecurities and drama that younger women often bring to the table. And they aren't all old guys, many are in their 20s.

Eh. I started dating my "catch" DH when I was a bright and perky 28 year old, married at 30, first kid at 31. Marrying a wealthy guy and having kids really isn't all that great. In retrospect I wish I had spent more time on my career and myself, and put off marriage/kids until later. This life can be an unfulfilling one since DH's career will always come first, making it hard for me to have my own life. We can't develop our relationship much because he's always exhausted from work; it's too hard to meet both work's needs and my needs.

If your husband is a disengaged husband and father but makes a lot of money, he’s not really a “catch.”

The same?

Course, I've dated guys with fragile egos who can't handle smart/ high earning women.

Having $ = having resources to outsource = makes life easier, esp. with young children.
