I work in tech as an engineering operations lead, wife would be in a policy role. Total possible comp for her $400k, mine $250k.
I think this may be limited funding to afford a nice home with good schools and commute.
So it seems like we likely could alternate early departure for both of us? Or do most working parents just hire someone for every afternoon and summer logistics?
- antoineMoPa 7y agoToday I learned that $650k may be considered limited funding by someone in the same universe.
- daddypigcoder 7y agoHaha, I know right? I’m just repeating what has been drilled into me by everyone I’ve talked to who lives in the valley. I’m coming from the South so thought I had won the lottery, but apparently this won’t cut it b/c fixer uppers with decent schools and commutes are $2M+. And traffic is really bad so just ‘drive till you qualify’ is a Faustian bargain.
