re: Jobs that you can realistically expect to earn $300k+ a year

That’s what I mean when I say not easy but doable.

If someone can make 300k at 25 or 600k at 30, then it’s definitely not easy or else everyone would do it. OP’s original question threshold was 300k and I’m telling him there is a way to hit that at 25.

Having been in the industry for 20+ years, you do see attrition as people reach the VP and SVP levels, for a variety of reasons.

But, most generally leave for even better opportunities. Very few (as in none) leave for jobs with less responsibility and pay.

They simply love the work and the pay doesn’t hurt either.
