you might net 200K a year if you're lucky, and assuming you live like a miser and save/invest 150K a year, that's really not enough to retire on

Doesn't the depend on where you live and how old you are?
In my part of the US, you can live like a king on $200k/yr and such jobs aren't rare. You can live better than 90% of the people here on $100k, and putting 100k/yr away for retirement is genuinely more than enough unless you're in your 40s or so.
But I know there are other parts of the US where what you say is 100% true.
and OP was saying that he'd like to work for 10 years and retire. it's not really retirement if you only stop working for 10 years.
I just mean that you need far higher incomes than 350K for 10 years (gross) to be able to stop working entirely
