Some folks equate a 50-60 hour work week to being confined to an office. That's not the case.
You can be doing business/getting work done while out at lunch/dinner/golfing/traveling/or at home....
That may be the case if you're collaborating on something or managing client relationships but business and leisure typically do not mix.
I'm equating the 50-60 hour work week to being confined to an office because that's what I see from my roommate, parents, and gf. Their normal hours are 40 but they are usually staying in the office to meet a deadline or submit a deliverable on time and end up working 60 hours a week. Also, they aren't getting paid OT for those hours.
You paint a pretty picture with what you just said but that is not the reality for most people who are overworked. And that is where the complaint with a higher salary but more hours lies. The fact that these people are workaholics or overworked. If you can work and make time for leisure at the same time, great. It means your job is relatively laid back and not so demanding. That's a good culture to work in but it's not the norm for people working 50-60 hour weeks, at all.
What is the name of the consulting firm?found out yesterday my girl getting 120k
works for a large consulting firm. Its funny cause she only had 1.5 years of experience before she got this job.
I'm at 80k doing a IT Consulting doing much more technical and taxing job. Gotta work smarter lol.
we live in Atlanta. oh yeah, shes 24
That's why SAP jobs pay big bucks. Not a lot of people want to get into it because of its complexity.

I don't see you post much now a days, hopefully we can link one day when I get closer to starting my real estate investing.
Back on topic...I'm 23 and with my salary and rental income I'm shy of 6 figures.
I'm a software engineer I started at 72K last year. I have received a nice raise and looking at a promotion at the beginning of 2017.
Currently looking to get a new position and start by the end of this year that will put me in the 250K+ range (60 hour work weeks).
I currently work 40 hours a week that's it, not working more than that unless I'm getting OT.
Yal are crazy talking about ill work 70 hours a week for 100K. If I'm working that much I better be making atleast 200K.
Personally I think Software/IT is the best route to good paying jobs , good benefits, and a great quality of life.

obtaining a masters is the cheat code for our field man. Some places count Masters as 3-5 years of experience lol. A guy hit me up on linkedin saying I would be qualified for a level 3 position at 150K/yr due to my Masters (he read my profile wrong I don't graduate until 201. Still says alot since I only have 1 year of experience and that position would be almost double my current salary.
Oh yeah I definitely agree, I don't think 6 figures equals success. I'm not working 60 hours a week for 100K, just isn't worth it TO ME (keywords).
great if you can get into it. Law degree is usually preferred
SAP is constantly evolving though. Updates are constantly coming out. Then you also have SAP HANA, which is pretty new. Windows has been around for many years and it's still heavily used and works well.

props bro!!!!
i know ppl are reading things like this right here and just straight up salty
repped, thank you btw i recall your story already but for thread purposes........
This. Unless you absolutely love your job.
Yeah I mean if you have responsibilities and mouths to feed and have to work 60-70 hours to do so, I'm not knocking that man at all. As a single man with no kids, I would not do it unless I loved my job. I value my hobbies, friends, family, etc. over money.
This dude gets it!
