Hit $1 million net worth at 30 thanks to Microsoft

Yes this is a humble brag post, but more than that a testament to the fact that finding a job that pays the highest TC isn't necessarily the only/best/quickest path to building wealth. My first job out of college was at Cisco in bay area as a G4 in 2015. I was there for 4 years and managed to save about $115k, but my role was incredibly stressful. I then joined MSFT in 2019 and increased my portfolio to $1M in about 4.5 years. Yes i know it's not the highest compared to blind standards, but the package MSFT has been giving me overall in the last few years has been nearly perfect: 1. My WLB is amazing. I work on average between 20-30 hrs a week. My TC is around 280k as a senior engineer and have gotten RSUs twice. 2. I love the work that I do on a daily basis and am still learning. I have an amazing team and an incredibly supportive manager and skip. Been consistently getting 140% rewards for the past 3 years. 3. I typically take 5-6 weeks of vacation and have been travelling to new places twice a year. Have visited 15 countries so far, hoping to do 3x a year going forward. Traveling is my biggest hobby and the fact that I have flexibile vacation matters a lot to me. 4. I work fully remote. 5. I have 0 stress about my job. I can't emphasize enough how much my overall quality of life has changed for the better since I left that stressful job at Cisco. I don't have any dependents and my partner and I pretty much split expenses (we don't live together at the moment), which obviously helps save more. All in all, I could definitely make more as a senior engineer at other tech companies but I highly doubt everything else will be equally balanced like it is at Microsoft. Again everyone's situation is different, but think what matters the most to YOU before deciding on your next role, don't worry about the rat race. At this point in my life, no amount of money can convince me to take another stressful job or one with a bad WLB. Happy to answer any questions. Edit: screenshot below is from Credit Karma. Edit 2: portfolio breakdown is 25% 401k, 25% cash (buying a property in the next 6 months), and 50% investments, of which: 30% is MSFT, 35% is VOO, 25% is CDs, 10% individual stocks (mainly nvidia).
