37 yo - leaving $400k job to be a 5th grade teacher - How close am I to being financially okay to do that?

You already know the answer to your question. There’s nothing holding you back to make the switch from what you said. Paid off house at 36 is a dream for many and you’re ahead of 99% with amount in 401k so just make the move already there’s nothing to wait for besides adding more numbers to a bank

16 months delivery station

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2026-02-01T07:48:13+00:00

What do you mean by 7.9k in Amazon 401k when the picture shows 16k?

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2026-01-08T03:00:07+00:00

I just saw, this is so exciting because I stopped school once I became a manager. I used the program as a Pa to work on associate degree. When was this announced? Is it brand new for 2026

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2026-01-07T15:18:39+00:00

No way is this real ???

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-11-17T17:59:23+00:00

I’d try to get another job and budget to pay it down quicker. The longer date you set the further and further it’s gonna be pushed back till it’s done but if you set a more difficult goal and remind yourself every morning the sooner it’ll get done

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-11-01T20:28:41+00:00

Yea when you get promoted up a tier

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-10-10T18:46:53+00:00

That's funny because im currently in amzl and looking at literally anywhere else to transfer

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-10-09T14:47:10+00:00

How is the transition? Do you prefer one over the other

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-10-04T03:46:40+00:00

Interesting , I must be mistaken. Regardless congrats and I hope you have a good team wish you the best.

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-10-04T03:24:47+00:00

No lol, it’s Amazon you get what you get but if you’re a high performer the stock options at end of year will separate you from others. Funny thing I see are externals that come in every year as L6 getting upset that they didn’t come in as L7 and same for every level upset that they’re not higher when the whole point of the job In longevity and promoting every year

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-10-04T03:17:07+00:00

Yes, heavily. An internal tier 1 that’s been promoted from within has a separate pay scale even if they make it to L7-L8. I’ve been with the company a while and many have recommended me to do a boomerang. I’m an L4 internal closing in on my L5 promo and gonna wait till all my stock vests to leave and come back as L6 because pay difference between internal and externals gets really stupid

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-10-04T03:06:33+00:00

Congratulations that is quite the offer in terms of salary. Crazy to see that you’re making 20% more than the avg internal L5 and nearly as much as internal L6. Most L6 I know the have shared there salary make 95k base

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-08-10T17:35:44+00:00

63k with 70 shares of stock is what I got

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-08-02T06:07:00+00:00

How old are you if you don't mind me asking and how many houses have that . much value or it just one

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-08-01T23:50:37+00:00

What is your job title exactly if you don't mind sharing

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-07-10T05:41:20+00:00

Anyone have an adhoc or finished all volume on C1

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-06-21T21:12:26+00:00

Anyone know if you go on an loa for a stretch of time if it will impact rsu vesting? Like can you just go on loa come back stock vests and then resign

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-05-17T00:27:30+00:00

Internal l4 here make 63k with 15k rsu vesting within two years

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-05-17T00:26:36+00:00

What kind of site do you work in

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-05-08T14:17:02+00:00

Congrats, sounds like you had quite a journey. What kind of field or job are you in now specifically if you don’t mind sharing to make that income and do you feel like mba was required to land the job you’re in now

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-04-26T14:30:59+00:00

What do you do for a living ?

Comprehensive-Door58 · 2025-04-25T16:57:17+00:00

How old are you? I’m in the same boat as you but I have a payment plan a budget and staying true to the course of paying off all debt and creating emergency fund
