300k is a mind blowing amount of money to most people, but it's also considered nothing to a lot of people. Though I'm impressed someone can make principal cons

300k is a mind blowing amount of money to most people, but it's also considered nothing to a lot of people. Though I'm impressed someone can make principal consultant in their 20s.

That's true - I'm just painting a picture. Same thing at most rungs of the ladder and I'm sure it happens in a similar way in many other places around the world - just the way it works. It's a different world than what most of the people on this site might see day to day - making big money in software requires a different set of soft skills to find success as I think most people on here would agree. The guy I had in mind was, I think, 29, german and I think working at BCG? Very polished. Had his fresh-to-the-city model girlfriend and threw great parties.
