[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met DH in grad school. On paper, I probably had higher earning potential just based on prestige of schools. But life happened. I made some choices like not taking the low work-life balance job that paid extremely well, and I do feel that I have hit a glass ceiling professionally even in the roles I have taken. In addition, DH graduated about a year before me, which meant he established his career first, and I sort of needed to fit around that (sort of, because we could have made other choices, but that's how it worked out).

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of well-educated, self-sufficient, feminist women are like me.[/quote]

Same. And once our youngest got to first grade I took a $1M+/ yr job again from my $250k one so my husband wasn’t the only one contributing $1m+/yr.  plus mine had more wealth creation, profit sharing carry and lower tax rate setup. [/quote]

PP, what profession you are in? [/quote]

Tech investing since early 2000s.  Dialed it down during kids younger and did passive investing for an institutional investor and dialed it back up to the buyside fund after youngest was 6. Had a blast the whole time. Can always sit on more boards as well, or in early retirement. [/quote]
