I would believe the top 5% are easily S$200k and above. I am nothing compared to the lot.

More so when you read through and find out how much the front line bankers are getting, even on an entry level.

But for the record, I do real work (i.e. face-to-face with clients) only for a couple of hours a day now. Work - Family - Life balance is really something I enjoy and cherish while maintaining an acceptable standard of living for myself and my family. I also enjoy the interaction and relationships built through the years with the people I work with.

You gotta know what you want, and who you are. What sort of person you want to be living your life. For me, I know that I want to live life and see my child grow.

I don't want to be the kinda parent that is never home in the huge bungalow where my family stays.

This is an interesting forum, I take it as a reference, not a comparison point.
