[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've had a long career in multiple fields. I've definitely encountered the high earner/specialist who is home every night by 6. Of course they exist. But they're comparatively rare (although not absolutely rare), and in my experience, it's the case that they aren't managers, but tend to be specialists with an unusual and valued skill. They also often make choices that focus on preserving the specialty rather than expanding skills, because expanding skills often requires an investment of time. In general, I think they're more vulnerable to changes in industry norms, although of course that varies a lot. I have no criticism one way or the other. I think people have been way too judgmental in this thread and on DCUM in general. Mostly I am posting to say that I think the two PPs above who are arguing can [i]both[/i] be right: there are high earners who leave every night by 6, but the PP who says you can't have your cake and eat it too is [i]also[/i] right. Jumping to dramatic conclusions one way or the other is a bit silly; we do not have enough information to judge one way or the other.[/quote]

They're certainly not going to be someone like an orthopedist who has long surgeries or an Obstetrician . These are things that you cannot fake by coasting on your reputation or seniority  or do at home - you have to be at work.
It's a different life that is being argued, I think.[/quote]
