Hey everyone, I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed and could really use some perspective from those who've been there. After years of grinding, countless late nights, and saying no to so many things, I finally broke the $100K salary barrier last month! 🎉 But honestly, the journey here has been absolutely exhausting. I've sacrificed weekends, skipped vacations, and constantly upskilled myself just to reach this point. The delayed gratification has been real, and I'm starting to wonder if it's all worth it. For those of you earning $200K or more - please tell me it gets easier from here? Does the path from $100K to $200K happen faster than that brutal climb to six figures? I'm hoping there's light at the end of this tunnel and that my career momentum will finally start paying off more quickly. Really need some encouragement right now because I'm questioning if I can handle another decade-long grind like this one was. 😅 #careergrowth #salarynegotiation #worklifegrind #JobCareer #Career
