[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with making $150K or $100K or $80K?  If it is important to you to have a life outside of work, you take a job that is less demanding.

When you're surrounded by people making $300K or more, you think you have to stay in that realm... but there is a world outside of the $300K professionals.

(You CAN live a different life, but maybe it doesn't match up with the prestige that you've always thought you were suppose to get.)  This town is overflowing with people chasing the big cheese -- I think West Coast people look to enjoy life more than East Coasters -- which is why the East Coast has such an uptight/workaholic reputation.[/quote]

I'm the PP.  Here's what I meant:

1. The hours in in-house positions are not cushy.  He still might miss dinner half the time.

2. The paycut might force the family to move, different schools, etc.  That's a big deal for elementary kids.  Not saying it's the end of the world, but see #1.  They would get only a marginal increase in Dad Time.

3. These positions are very hard to get.  It could easily take 2 years or more to get one, even he tries really hard.[/quote]
