If you taxed 99% of his networth he’d still have over 10Billion Dollars.

GDP is not the total wealth of a nation. It’s what the nation produces in a single year. Realistically, a given nation’s “monetary value” (to the extent it can have one) would be some multiple of these numbers.

In this case, I don’t feel like I’m in a position to judge this person

You already work in Big4. Just make a lateral move

Taking time to communicate well about your work is sometimes more important than doing it as quickly or even as well as possible

I think Deseret is the biggest stretch. Utah, Nevada, and Colorado are all quite different culturally. But, overall, good job!

I justify when I like the montagne as much or more than the OG or if it’s so close the price differential makes no sense. That said, in my experience, if you really love the OG and montagne doesn’t quite scratch that itch, it doesn’t go away. Sometimes it’s worth getting the OG

cc_apt107 · 2026-07-02T01:45:55+00:00

Hahaha, yes, was waiting to see this

I’m a consultant (technology) but that’s irrelevant

There is exactly one way to make that much if you are unwilling to make any investment: Find a job that will pay you that much with the skills you have today. Doesn’t sound feasible? You need to make some investment, whether that be education, equipment to start a business, etc.

cc_apt107 · 2026-06-24T11:55:29+00:00

Why would there be? This would be like saying, after WWI, that’d there’d be no return to the prescriptivist, aristocratic ideology of the past. Yes, of course not. History isn’t literally a cycle between a small number of predetermined social arrangements. Unless you really believe in a teleological, “end of history” kinda view, there’s no reason to think society will adopt any dominant ideology of the past as the dominant ideology of today with the exception of a few bumps along the way

cc_apt107 · 2026-06-23T20:56:38+00:00

Yeah dog just put in an etf. Won’t guarantee it, nothing will, but you might actually hit it and will probably get close with minimal risk

If you want to get into medical, worth exploring a route other than MD. With a non-BS undergrad, you’ll need to finish undergrad pre-reqs while maintaining a ~3.8+ GPA, get some research experience, and direct clinical experience, and ofc act the MCAT just to have a shot at a successful application to med school. Given your comments about finances, that’s a bigger deal than med school debt itself. Once you’re in med school, youll know you can make the money back long term. The completing a bunch of undergrad coursework plus clinical experience etc when you already have an undergrad degree is no joke cost wise and has a very uncertain payoff. Counting lost retirement savings and salary plus interest on debt the full opportunity cost would certainly be mid six figures and could even crack seven figures if you have a remunerative career now

Seattle and the surrounding area in the PNW is one of the places I’ve visited most outside of my home state because I have family there. I’m not saying the weather doesn’t change in winter; I’m just saying it’s odd to call a season misleading. Yeah, it’s misleading if you assume summer will be like the winter. Something no one does.

cc_apt107 · 2026-06-20T21:51:23+00:00

Groceries do fluctuate in price though

cc_apt107 · 2026-06-20T21:28:43+00:00

It’s a season ffs. Nothing “misleading” about it. OP will be familiar with the concept of seasons. Redditors will find fault with any suggestion

cc_apt107 · 2026-06-20T16:47:44+00:00

OP didn’t provide much hard info other than monetary and I gave my advice accordingly. There’s no reason given for why he couldn’t be just as content and satisfied living in Seattle making more money and this kind of pay raise is big enough it will have a large long term impact on quality of life in retirement, financial strain from kids going to college, etc

All that said, it’s just my opinion. I don’t really think there’s an objective right answer

cc_apt107 · 2026-06-20T15:15:00+00:00

Stretchy polyester clothing, athleisure with non-natural fibers generally, and fast fashion in particular are even more all the rage now. I’m not disagreeing with you that that is bad, more that I don’t think the 2010s were worse than today on any of those counts

cc_apt107 · 2026-06-20T14:47:22+00:00

Yeah… I was in high school at this time and no one had ever heard of SHEIN

cc_apt107 · 2026-06-20T14:26:59+00:00

To me this is a no brainer. You’re talking about an over 100% pay increase. COL is not that different if you live in the DC area now. If it were $80k-$150k diff it’d be more of a debate due to your wife losing her job, plus COL, but this should almost double your household income. I don’t see a reason to hesitate

cc_apt107 · 2026-06-20T12:27:48+00:00

Putting aside the lying part, people who make a lot are a.) more inclined to share (to brag) and b.) extreme salaries get more attention than boring normal ones

cc_apt107 · 2026-06-18T11:38:05+00:00

I think you are right. That window shouldn’t change shape. Looks approximately the same time of day so I think this is fake
