IT, 40 hours per week, $120K

I work about 40 hours, and I am a lawyer. If I wanted to work more, I'd take a different job where I got paid much more.

Depends on the industry. At my small non-profit, yes. But the understanding is that flexibility also comes with low salaries.

Same here. Medium-sized non-profit and technically we have a 35 hr work week but most people work 40ish, or like me, are part time (30hrs/wk). The trade off is that the pay is terrible.

I wish I could work longer hours for more money....

This is inaccurate. I would be a teacher if not for the grueling hours. As it is, I work 40 hours for a bit over $100k. I have a PhD, and that is what has afforded me this luxurious lifestyle

Part timers

40/week incl 1 hr for lunch. 53k

DH works 40 hours a week and is paid 92K.
I wish he could work a little more, accept more responsibility, for better pay!

I work 35 hours a week and make about $69k. Definitely only work 35 hours. Nice thing is that I can telework one day on top of that.

I work about 45 hours/week but have lots of flexibility. I make around $125K.

Yes, I work 40 hours a week. I make a hair over $100k.

DH works about 40 hrs a week, sometimes 45 if there is an issue, and makes 120K a year. He knows he's quite lucky. He's been presented with an opportunity to be promoted within the company for a nice pay raise, but it would mean longer work hours. So we're not quite sure what to do right now.

We don't live in the DC area anymore so 120K does go further, although we are still on the East Coast, so not THAT much further.

Is that not the norm anymore? Are people usually working more? I;m not talking about the lawyers, but those making $100,000 or less per year.
