I make less money than most of my close friends, so I usually don't feel that well-compensated. I recognize that I have a great gig objectively, although I could find a similar job without much trouble if I wanted to.

My biggest issue with my job is the amount of time required to manage people and details to get projects done. Ideally I would just come up with ideas and hand them off to other people to implement, but pay and responsibility inevitably come with a large management component.

i handle a 10 state area. projects can be in large urban areas or in the middle of nowhere. sometimes i need to spend three or four days on site, but other times im traveling for a one hour meeting. sometimes i have to drop everything and schedule a flight for the next day, but that is rare. usually i get between three days and two weeks notice.

edit: didnt see your last question. there are times when you know a particular matter will require twenty visits to the same site, but not usually.

150K all in, hoapiong to cop promotion/raise this year which should bump me to more like 190 all in. My employer is notoriously stingy with comp, and most of my friends at peer companies make 250 or more with RSUs.

50-60 but I'm inefficient and a workoholic by dept standards

networking and a not particularly personal connection
