Just shy of 200k in TC, heading higher after accepting my next offer. 36ish hours a week, without any real oversight on actual time (I'm currently interviewing and I'm not sure anyone has noticed that I've been dipping out for an hour or so/day for interviews and prep). "Unlimited leave" for the last five years now across two jobs, which as we all know is a scam, but I try to take at least 30 days off per year, usually in two week-long blocks and then at least 1-2 three or four day weekend per month.
I said this elsewhere in this thread, but in tech in the US, you can now live almost anywhere (except for SF/NYC/Seattle/maybe LA?), make an amount of money that will put you in the top 1-5% of wage earners wherever you are, and still have a pretty chill life. I don't know if that'll still be the case in five or ten years—there is so much money sloshing around right now, it's unreal—but for now, I think it's foolish not to try to catch the wave and bank as much as you can.
