Exchanging more time for money when you’re already making over 500k at 40 hours a week seems inefficient.

I would be learning how to invest (in fact, I do with far less than 500k salary) in my spare time if I really need to maximize income.

Maybe your living expenses match (or exceed) your income though, so you don’t have much capital after expenses.

Upvote for this. Most people shouldn't invest because the ROI for self-improvement and getting a better job is much higher. But at some level, 7% or so returns becomes much better.

Agree. I would quit after a less than a decade at that income. Unless I really like what I do... or if F U money changes my mentality to not care.
