Is a 6 figure job where you do nothing all day GOAT

Phuck climbing the corporate ladder, work your way up enough to find a cushy job where you pull 6 figs, work from home, and don’t do Jack chit most days

Should be achievable by mid 30s for most with a degree

It's not as good as it sounds. I'm in this position in a government job. I work as hard as I can on the projects I get but there simply isn't much to do.

Most days I feel like a leech on society srs.

Agree don’t want that guilty feeling. Rather be somewhere where I’m adding value, I’m comfortable, I know I’m adding value, and others around me know that I’m adding value

It would probably be better if you figure out a way to be super efficient with your job, but don’t let on that you are. That way you can be assigned a project that they think will three weeks, and you bust it out in 1 day, then still deliver it early.

I have this job. It is goat.

I am an engineer for the gov’t, because of covid I was able to change my job to be 100% virtual. I’m good at talking to people so I just want present data and reports for a few hours each week. I have a small farm in a mountain valley, it’s the best situation imaginable.

oh, ok.....eye roll.

If you're making $100k "easily" then it's not a decent salary in comparison to the cost of living in that area.

Work in IT in the fed gov't making roughly 90k. Coworkers are doing exactly what you described. I try to stay busy to make the time fly buy. Couldn't do it for more than a few years. Going to move to the private sector w/ my experience, knowledge, and certs I've acquired and am working on. No degree here either. I was a comm guy in the military and walked into my job.

The vast majority of government positions are just parasitic.

Or you can push and work hard, go deeper into the six figures, and achieve your goals sooner (and maybe add to them)

I used to want to be CIO $3k/day. Then I started making 6 figures and was like, naw **** that.

Ther bureaucracy and back stabbing at the C level is very off-putting.

can confirm. lots of mediocre new grads at big tech making ~$200k right out of a bachelor's. lots of engineering managers who pull ~$350k+ who basically sit in meetings all day and dont code anymore.

Das it. They don't pay you for the easy stuff, they pay you for when **** hits the fan and you are the only one that can resolve the issue. Easy work is for the grunts.

Yeah power engineer means something different in Canada than the US lol (power engineer in Canada is a trade, power engineer in US is somebody with at least a bachelors in EE). EE working in the power industry checking in. I work in consulting now and make great money but the job is stressful and the corporate culture is soul sucking. My dream is to get a few more years of experience, finish my MBA this year, and get a management job at a government-run energy organization.... hnnngh

100k a year is middle class brah

I agree with OP fully, there is a level a lot of places where pay / responsibility ratio maxes out. Lots of 100k jobs without being a supervisor and to get the next 20k bump up you have to deal with exponential more chit.

100k and cruise crew
