Maybe I’m just speaking for myself but I look at my friends and family and the garbage they put up with at work (doctors, lawyers, plumbers, accountants, landscaping, etc.). It all sounds way worse than the stuff I deal with the 10-13 days a month I work. Not to mention I’m looking at a minimum of a 42% raise in my overall compensation.

Do I wish I was paid on par with legacies - of course. Am I still going to make more money and continue to spend a ton of time at home with my family than I ever thought possible: yes.

Don’t get caught up in the moment. We have the best job in the world and will be paid more than we ever thought possible (notwithstanding the pay will be less than legacies) when the time comes.
