[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Same here, OP. I’m upper $200s with a ridiculous 401K match. I literally have about 2 hours of work per day, and that’s pushing myself. [/quote]

Where? [/quote]

Where? Every major employer in this area.

The higher you go up the ladder, the less hard work you actually do. Sure, you might have stressful moments over the course of a year, but you’re not grinding out work at midnight like an associate at a law firm, a bank analysts, or a newly minted MBA.

You do meetings, review other people’s work product, approving/deny requests, answer emails, etc. But it’s not hard work. If anything, you’re in too many meetings where other people are presenting to you and seeking your feedback. Easy peasy - just ask smart questions, give feedback, and move things forward.

I’m in an awesome role where I have certain subject matter expertise, but don’t have direct reports to manage. I get to advise the c-level leadership, but don’t have to do the grunt work. It’s awesome.

Carve out your niche. [/quote]
