[quote=Anonymous]Some of these people are lying. Not all, but some. I know a decent number of people making above 200k and most of them are too busy at work to fart around on DCUM at 10am on a Monday. The Big Law and consulting partners especially.

OP, I bet you the average income of people on DCUM is around what you make, or even lower. I'm currently part time in my job because my kids are young and I want to be more available to them, and I make 50k working about 15 hours a week. Our HHI is about 190k. The reason I can hang out on DCUM a lot is because being part time means my job doesn't carry as much responsibility, and of course sometimes I'm not working at all, I'm just killing time before picking the kids up from school, or while waiting for them to finish swim class or whatever. I think my situation is very common among DCUM power users.

My DH, who makes 140k and manages a team of 6 and has quite a bit of stress in his job (though thankfully not long hours and he has decent flexility and great benefits) doesn't have time to hang out on DCUM either. If he has downtime, he uses it for DuoLingo.

Anyway, I would have some skepticism about all the people claiming they are dual Big Law while posting on DCUM right now. If they are telling the truth, they are junior associates with poor time management skills and probably won't go the distance anyway! They'll be on here pouting about how they had to give up their 250k salary when they got counseled out in 5th year and now they are "poor".[/quote]
