200k and good work-life balance, or 500k and no work-life balance?

[Pyke the Schizo]

Assume you work these jobs for the rest of your life and no benefits or bonuses.

200k realistically you’re not going to have good work life balance either, but just pretend

200k assume 25-30 hour weeks
500k assume 70-100 hour weeks

I'd rather take a welfare check of 50k a year with all the free time and passions to pursue imaginable.
