[quote=Anonymous]The truth is that for most people, when you rise to the top of an organization, you are not going to exit and get a higher-paying job.  Most people who exit biglaw or business jobs like consulting will take a pay cut.  The hope is that you gain other things like a better work life balance, autonomy, and the ability to work your way to the top of the next job and boost your pay again in a better environment.  The idea that’s it’s reasonable to get a professionally degree and pull 200-400k or better for life is just not reality for like 95+ percent of people.  Even many medical doctors don’t make 300-400k.  If you do make 300k+, you are essentially working permanent overtime 60-80 hour weeks in most jobs that pay that kind of money.  Whether that is worth it to you is a personal decision. I know a lot of people who did pull that kinda of money working those hours, and 9/10 of them had some mental breakdowns and eventually left for lower salary jobs and better hours.[/quote]
