I like comparing money earned for a pilot's average day of work, TAFB, or similar. Pilot A making 200k/20 days off out earned Pilot B with 300k/avg 11 days off IMO. Pay is just the exchange of time for money. Without seeing how much time is exchanged for that pay, your W2 doesn't reflect the real value of your work.
