The private sector has a lot of risks and we get rewarded for taking the high risks. Some of us got rewarded big time while some lose big time. I was fortunate to be the former. I used to work in the fast paced, high stressed environment in the FO of the finance industry. The top guns they call it. I made a lot over the years I worked there. I managed to build up a big investment portfolio which allows me to retire at 43. Now I earn a passive income of $180k pa and retired. Our household expenses is $80k pa. Debt free too.

working in a stat board myself, i always content as long pay is slightly below average to average in the market. if anything more is bonus. i have some colleagues always complain pay and bonus progression too slow, yet not willing to take the risk outside, just unhappy everyday at work. no point.
