Fwiw, I've made >300k with a hard <40 hr week. Honestly, high salaries and flexible work hours seem like they should correlate (and always have for me): both are simply a result of how in-demand your labor is. There are certain jobs that require high availability, but many that don't, and if you're able to command a high salary, it shouldn't be very difficult to get some of your effective comp paid out in flexibility.

Sounds like you hit the jackpot. Generally high compensation demands high hours. You the man!

I was very very lucky, a couple times, with the timing of what I was passionate about and what the market was interested in. And plenty of the people I know work longer hours because they're so in-demand. But I think the underlying principle is sound: if you have the market power to command high salaries, most companies wont push you away for wanting reasonable working hours.
