34. Lawyer. No fertility doctor. I have children.

Do you get to spend much time with them?

I could be making about $150K right now had I stayed on that track. But I am in the low $100s, working only 10 months in education.

Sometimes I do question my decision to take this route, but I am happy to be home during the summer and home in time for pick up.

No, probably not. You are assuming c.50 percent effective tax rate? Your real gross equivalent is probably closer to 160 or 170K.
Sorry, but you should not be participating in this thread.

This is interesting. Someone at 160k would pay only 30k in all federal/state taxes, SS, Medicare, payroll etc. ?

It's an IFI staffer that means another quarter of salary into defined benefit and defined contribution plans. That would probably end up pushing close to 200k equivalent given most have to contribute to 401k out of income.

You are too old to post something like this. I could understand if you were 30 and just starting to understand the realities of life, but your ship has sailed past 30, 40, and 50 so you should have picked up some insight by now.

Screw you! Who do you think you are telling some they're too old, junior? Work all our lives to send some pompous ass like you to college to earn what we could've had. To hell with you!

But that doesn't change that 52 is too old to post such a ridiculous comment.

That's terrible. What's wrong with you? You have issues. Congrats on hitting 100k!!!!! That's a milestone!!!!

Not all nonprofits are charities. PP probably works for a 501c4, not a 501c3. Please don't assume charities have no needs based off of one post on this site.

Regardless, paying an in-house attorney $200K+/year can be less than the non-profit would pay in outside legal fees if they had to contract with a firm to do all their legal work.

That's unusual for VP in a large bank even for NYC. VP doesn't mean much from what I observed, it must be a smaller company where this title means something else.

VPs in investment banks easily make that. VPs in commercial banks can make that all-in, as can in-house corp fin people in a variety of companies.

And yes, VP is not like VP of the United States where there is only one. It is a role with 7-10 years of experience minimum and you start being a revenue generator, not a transaction/execution person.
