How do I get to $600k a year in the next decade?

Not saying it’s necessarily possible - I just want to know how I’d even approach it as a problem I know I’d have to leave Amazon, maybe join Jane Street or Google and be promoted aggressively - but what’s the path? I make $150k tc and I feel depressed because I feel like there’s no path to social/class mobility for me.

Friend of mine has a "side business" that pulls over 400k a year, so you can too. Requires working on weekends and being acutely aware of the needs of married/divorced 30-40 year old females. Gotta be tall and athletic too.

What do you mean?

Facebook AyyoLeMayo Jun 22, 2019

150k and 600k tc are in the same middle class bucket. Try 1M+ if you want to get out of upper middle class Also another fyi, class is usually measured by net worth rather than income

It’s not sarcasm if you’re bezos

A lot of luck involved. You won't work your butt off into 600k unless the company grow like 10x. That growth was due to interest rate suppression. It is not going to continue forever, even for those currently making that much.

Yeah that’s why Id have to leave amazon - the stock appreciationisnt going to continue and google and FB at least care about base increases and tc increase
