[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I seriously can't believe how much some people make. I thought I was doing well at 84. DH makes 200.  I work 9-5 at a small non-profit as a director. Started in September after SAH for 4 years. I left at the director level 4 years ago. My job is a combination of marketing, sales, writing, and business development mostly.  Workload is heavy and intense and I could easily bring work home but I choose to keep it at the office and just stress there. I don't take lunch and usually leave around 5:30. Not much flexibility. No working from home, very little time off with 14 total PTO (includes sick) plus the major holidays.  Enjoy the work I do but find the lack of flex and limited time off very stifling. I have previously WAH and SAH and thought with both kids in elementary this year that it was time to go back to work but I miss them and feel I'm not really able to be there for them as I have been. I would take less money to WFH with flex for school events, gym, and no commute.  But at that, I cannot believe that others are making tons more than me with a load of flex to boot!

I'm 36 with a Masters. DH is 38. 2 kids, 5 and 7.

Anyone in sales/marketing want to share more? I must be doing something wrong! [/quote]

I posted back on 2/14 (13:59) I am 40 and work in tech sales. I have been doing this for 10 years, and previously worked for a non-profit, where I made a quarter of what I make now. I don't have a tech degree (I do have a Masters), but I know the industry that my company serves, and that experience is valuable in my position. What else would you like to know? Happy to share if it helps. One thing I will say about sales in my industry, I could probably make two or three times more than what I make now but I would have to travel more, which I don't want to do with small kids, and my husband travels fairly frequently. Right now I only have to travel 4-5 times per year.[/quote]
