I want the cash now dam it

[arod15]

Question,
Right now im at a point in time where I can leave my job for a 20K bump up. The catch is long term (like 12 years from now ill be 35ish) If i stayed my yearly income would be appox 300K. Where at the other places, regardless of where i went i would be around 150 -200max. So the question is should I wait out these years, or is a dollar today worth more than a dollar in the future since I can invest it and make it grow? Dam its 20K not pennies am I being to short sighted?

A partner at a business firm in Manhatten. Avg. Starting right now is 250K. Assuming inflation and natural increases I jumped it to 300K. Also, I never admitted I could spell, but as far as my job goes, I have admins do that. So there is still hope.

Not even close to being planned out. I just analysis of all my options. I am torn between going back to law school, following this carreer path, or moving to another company with Manhatten. I have a ton of options, I just don't know which way to go with them. 24 is getting closer and I'm big on foward thinking.

I was just [censored] round with ya, of course. But my advice is to figure out which one you like to do better, and do that. If you are making 150k a year now, 20k isnt that big of a deal if you are going to make 100k more in 10 years.

I swear to god wow, Spell check made me illiterate. But again, thats not going to hurt me either way. Spelling is understood to be a weakness where I work.

I've gotten used to my job. I don't hate it as much as I say I do. I just don't like it all that much. I find it repetitive and at times not that interesting. But really, I can't imagine liking any job quite that much. So the answer is I don't know what I like more, I just don't want to stay here forever just because it was the easy thing to do. I feel like thats the safe play but it's a lot easier said that done leaving a great job for a so so one. Perhaps an MBA is possible, but i feel that is one of the more meaningless degrees you can attain. You definatley learn a lot more on the job.

Making partner in a major Manhatten firm isn't that easy. No matter who you are, it's not a slam dunk. And it's a shitload of work.

There are reasons firms like this pay so well. Most people can't hack it for any number of reasons.

Clearly it is not. But I have all the tools, except for spelling, also in this world a lot of things is who you know. I have relatives who are Partners and have a great network. Clearly, I have a inside track and it's really a matter of me not blowing it.

I aint much inta book learnin, but me thinks spellin may be one of the reasons.

You don't see the analogy? You're in you early/mid 20's you make six figures a year and you live in Manhattan.

And you sound like you hate your job, yet you feel you have to do it, because the money is so good and you want to fit in.

Am I right?

Nice. One of the reasons why many people can't hack it is that they just aren't hooked up. You're very fortunate to know the right people. It's a leg up that most people don't get (myself included). Use it to your advantage- not that I need to tell you to do so.

Is 150k a year that great? Isnt that like 40k here in the midwest...hehe

[arod15]

nah i dont hate it. I just dont like it that much. BUt again i havent met very many people who were happy with their job on a daily basis and looked foward to it. In the end it is still work, and by default that usually sucks.

No i dont make 150 K quite yet. Also, 150K in the NYC isnt great its "OK" rent will set you back at least 3-4K a month plus the tempation to go out. 150K is not that great at all. it is good though especially at 23. But again thats not me.

Why would you go to law school is you will be making 300K in a few years ?

[Mat Sklansky]

I too am baffled all to hell about how it's decided in this place what bizarre questions are taken seriously.

It's very complicated, most good OOT'ers learn this through experience, and it becomes part of his intuition

While i framed it poorly, the question is essence isnt all that bizarre. ITs about leaving a great job with a good connection for a short term increase and perhaps a bit more happiness. Also, its about somoene in the early 20's deciding what is the next step in their career.

Give that goal up and go for the cash. Lawyers who can't spell don't end up making very much money. Plus, law school very much sucks.
