Unless we are talking about a job with inherently long term health risk and/or ilegal activity with prosecution risk I would be willing to put up a year or two in order to secure a life long financial independence. 2M USD is enough to confortable spend the rest of your life doing what you really want to do.
But hey, maybe is me
- knorker 6y agoStaff won't give you anywhere near a million per year in total comp. Not even before tax or living expenses. You'll be able to put away 100-200k a year on that at best, is my estimate. (This includes bonus and stock)
- bradlys 6y agoDepends on where you want to live and the lifestyle you want. Personally for me, it’s not enough. I’d need $10mil+ to retire. Even then, I don’t want to retire. I’d prefer to keep learning and growing. I have goals of eventually running a large organization or doing my own startup. Also, again, you’re literally trading years of your life away.
- gassius 6y agoOf course totally depends on location and lifestyle, but I guess that someone who is quitting a 1M/y is not really optimizing for a expensive lifestyle. In any case, there are a lot of places in EU and USA where you can have high quality of life with a warchest of 2M cash. And yeah lets clarify that I don't mean retiring when I said you can do what you want, and I was not thinking that you may not have any other income for the remainder of your life. For me is having the freedom to work on what interest you, with people that is interesting and not having to suffer any fools never again in order to make ends meet. We all trade time for money, I would just preffer the condensed version and be done with it.
