Anonymous wrote:The post below inspired me… I make around $300K but am stuck in a soul crushing, toxic job. I work in marketing for a large global company and am expected to work 60-70 hour weeks and be on call 24/7 with little flexibility. It was much better after the pandemic but over the past year things have crept back to pre-pandemic levels and the workload has become unbearable.

Looking at friends, they either have similar grueling jobs and make a lot of money, or make like $150K and have an easier true 9-5 job with tons of flexibility.

But according to DCUM many people here make over $250K and work 40 hours per week, mostly from home/tons of flexibility. So what exactly is your job if this is the case?


In house counsel at a pharma company. Make around $400k. 35 hrs a week, in office 2 days a week. Some limited travel.

BS PowerPoint decks, fire drills when sales are lagging. I spend most of my time making presentations to show management our strategy and results, vs doing actual marketing work.


For 300k? That is crazy

Where do you work? DH is a systems engineer and does not make nearly this much.

In house counsel - it’s the best after over 25 years with a boutique firm. Should have done it sooner!

My DH - about 320k - in-house counsel. 100% remote - probably works 25-30hrs/wk. tons of flexibility. He’s the main caretaker bec my job lacks the flexibility he has. He does all dr appts, sport drop-offs, etc.

Around $250k, about 40 hours, 98% flexible, so I pick up my children from school every day, have dinner with my family every day, walk for 2 hours every day (except when it's super cold). Self-employed attorney

Same here. But reasonable hours fluctuate quite a lot. Very recently, I was working 65-70 hours a week on multiple high stress projects.


Wow! I worked in the same field for 20 years and never pulled those hours and never worked a weekend.
