It’s different when the DW is SES, b/c it is rare for a DH GS15 be given that much flexibility as a man. I have gotten “why can’t your wife pick up the kids”. Many bosses don’t care about the relative roles in your household, they just see that your are a GS15 asking to do something a PT working mom normally does.

I make 325K in non supervisory role for a financial service company. 150K - 200K for a supervisory role? Seriously?

She feels bad, in the finance world that is peanuts.

Ours are all 55+.
I will say that our current SES held on much longer than previous generations. Many retired at 70. So (for better or worse) the path was blocked for gen x.

Gosh, wait until you find out how little the Treasury Secretary, Fed Chair, and Fed Governors make. Seriously.
