Thanks, techno. I guess I'm the grinder of the group (at least for now) but I'll give my perspective anyways. I work at a very successful large consulting firm, am towards the top of my class, and am on track to make partner in a relatively short time period (4-6 years - maybe 3 if I get lucky and really bust my ass?). Partners at my firm make around 1-5 million. Assuming I'm still towards the upper end, that means I'll be making 2-3 million per year within 5-10 years.

I really dont understand this point. Are you saying that I'm wrong? Or that I have a warped perspective? Sorry, I just don't get your point.

I think he's just saying you aren't a grinder... in a compliment kind of way! Btw, that doesn't sound like grinding to me either! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I seriously doubt this is the case.

Uh, it's the case. And thanks, guys. I just meant I was a grinder by working a regular job at a regular company instead of being an entrepreneur or working in high financial speculation or anything. But yea I think it's a pretty kickass job which I love and so far I seem to be doing very well at it. Let's hope I can keep it up.
