Is it a great salary for a single male? Yes, especially if you live in a low COL area. I hear guys all the time trying to move up in the $130k range, giving themselves a certain age limit "I don't want to be over 34 and still be under 100k" and to me, it's not really brag worthy. The lounge is to blame for my mindset lol, especially with all the aspiring CEOs and salesmen.
My question is, how many hours are you working? How much more work are you doing?
To me it's all about being efficient. Working as few hours as possible while making the most money. What's the use in making $100k when you're doing up to 80hrs/wk. Some guys say they work the standard 40 hours, but I'm doubtful most jobs are like that. You're in a top tier role which has more responsibilities and tasks. There's been a lot of people that gave up that salary to go to $70k and a guaranteed 40 hours.
I think more emphasis should be placed on making your money work for you and not the other way around. Over $100k is great accomplishment, but what's the use in working those hours. It's either bang or bust. Go for $300k/yr or work an efficient 70k/yr
