Exactly. If I saw a path to $300K in the next 2-3 years I'd probably just gut it out, but nobody is going to make a commitment like that to me, sooo.

FWIW if you’re working at on of the Big 5 that’s pretty achievable, although primarily in RSUs. I started at $125k and was at over $300k total after three years. Obviously at a start up it’s going to be very different.

Big 5. I keep hearing about this refresher magic but nobody will give me numbers to work with.
