High Salary but EMPTY inside! 💀
I currently work as a senior manager earning around 220k a month. This may look so nice on paper, but I’m losing my mind in this dog eat dog corporate world. People are crying during work hours because of pressure. We work long hours and some folks are even mandated to work during weekends. High salary can only make you happy during payday. Choose sanity over titles, and don’t glorify the corporate ladder. The view up here is not as beautiful as you think.

Finally, a different POV from someone who already got there. Post appreciated OP and I wish you better work environment though I know that's hard in the management level.

The higher the income, the higher the responsibility. This is the reality if you're aiming to reach this 6 digit net monthly income. I myself is aiming for this one too but i take time and studying on my niche to reach this goal. Thanks for the insights

You can find a 6 digit salary with little to no stress. Don’t settle on that company. You can always find a better one.

Depende to s company, may mga company na low paying tapos super toxic pa. May mga companies dn na high paying na chill lng and talagang ok ang culture and environment.
May mga companies that can provide you a high paying job as well as a good working environment. Need mo lng hanapin.

Earning a high salary should also follow maturity in terms of your perspective to work. Fortunate are those who earn big but has leaner work. Essentially, businesses buy your life thru your salary. It would seem that they just bought 6/7 days of your life then.

Yeah, sometimes going for higher title with higher pay is not worth it.
It's all too common rin sa IT na napopromote kahit hindi pa hinog sa promotion. Mas maraming may gusto ng promotion than just chilling out muna and trying to know more and gain experience in their current jobs/roles before they can say they are ready for the next level. Not all want to stay in their current levels.
