[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I each make around $300K, mid 30s.

He started his own company (now series C) so also a lot of equity potential. Otherwise his comp would be much higher at FAANG.

I am in biotech BD.

We also went to an Ivy and most our friends are in similar to better situations. Leveraging network for opportunities is key. I look to the companies attracting people in my network that I admire for ideas on where to go next. I also work really hard, make myself indispensable, and push for / negotiate comp increases every year.

Well, I was the southern diversity element at my Ivy, I came in very ill prepared from my low scoring rural school and really never fit it.  So my friends from college, while many are at FAANG and such, were not the deep friendships I would feel comfortable taking a flyer for me to get a job.  Is that really an okay thing to do, it feels so.. fake.  I mean, we send them christmas cards and stay in touch and maybe see each other every 5 years, but its not like we are close friends nor are are we work colleagues hence it feels weird to network that way.

Are you in the Bay Area or DC, as you mention your DH might work at a FAANG?[/quote]
