People who earn those high salaries ($300-500k), are you overall happy? If yes, is it the money or the work ?

I am a mid career professional 8yoe. People who have a lot of experience and advantage of hindsight, what’s your advice? What to look for in a career. Did you chase those high paying jobs or it just happened as a byproduct?

Only boobs at El Goog make less than 200 in engineering...
Back when my income was less than half what it is now, I HATED my job. Couldn't stand my manager. Yet, somehow I was pretty satisfied with work.
Now I actually like my job, and I'm making good money by any measurement, but I am 100% completely dissatisfied.
Maybe I'm just older. But I think it's that the more I make, the more I weigh my job as important to my well being.
When I wasn't making that good of money, I didn't give a shit about my job or my career, and I think that's why I was happier.
