[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ambitious, rich guys now want to end up with their coworkers, not their secretaries.  Go to an elite grad school, get a high paying job yourself, land a colleague.  Then when your career schedules are too much with kids you can slide back into the cushy role you want.[/quote]

+1. [/quote]

Another +1, from the kind of guy you want to attract (but happily married).  While a few marry hot secretaries, the senior executives at my firm making $$$ mostly marry mid-level executives.  I totally get it; these are gorgeous, fit, incredibly bright, driven women.  What's not to like.

Maybe other men want insipid wives, but the men I know with similar educational backgrounds and career trajectories like smart, ambitious women.  It can make for conflict in home life, but there is undeniable chemistry.[/quote]

Most of the people I know in the C-suite are married to homemakers. Indeed, a female CEO of a F500 I formerly worked for fits this bill. I don't believe they explicitly set out to marry stay at home partners. In fact, I think it's the opposite:  being married to a SAH partner really frees up the working spouse to be all in at work and get ahead of the pack over the years. [/quote]

Interesting.  I guess a lot of that is first vs second marriage, and C-Suite vs more generic senior executives.

I work for a massive company, one of the largest in the world.  Many of the EVP/GMs of our various businesses go on to become CEOs at other companies when they leave (I can think of 12+ that I know personally).  They are running 40,000+ person divisions generating tens of billions of dollars a year in revenue.  Those jobs alone are larger than the vast majority of CEO jobs (which is why they can easily leave for CEO roles at other companies).  Needless to say, these guys are well compensated.  From a relationship perspective, I fit them into three categories:

- The guys who are still married to their first wife, who is a homemaker.  
- The bachelors.  Some divorced, some never married.
- The guys married to a mid-level company executive, either current or former.  Many of these are second marriages, a few are converted bachelors.

I'm surprised at the size of the third bucket.  Some of those females leave the company (and work somewhere else / not at all), others stay.  [/quote]
