Marry a very rich sick/old person that I can charm into making me sole heir to their fortune. After they die of "mysterious causes," I will retire to my private island where I will wear nothing but bikinis and consume nothing but grapes hand fed to me by a 10 that never talks and Kahlua, of course.

I haven’t seen it. But there’s one that’s supposed to be really good about a smooth chick who cheats old people out of their stuff by becoming their legal guardian or something. . “I care too much” or something like that.

Our company has been asking for that as part of our Personal Development Plans.
To which I immediately got wrapped around my axle because to be honest, I have no PDP related to my career. None. I'm an IC, I don't want to be in management, I work just as hard as I want to right now, and I don't want any additional responsibilities, such as those I'd get by working on a board or at a side gig. I also am not at the early stages of my sales career. I'm happy with what I have, enjoy (for the most part) what I do, and I'm doing alright. Basically, I have zero aspirations.

CRO. Then whatever I want. . I am VP Sales at a pre-series A startup. I have a good chunk of equity, with more on the horizon. I have a fat base, UNREAL commission structure, and I’m asking for more post Series-A;which should be in August. . They partially paid for my move cross-country, and in the next 10-18 months, I’m going to make a business case to have me stationed in Mexico. They’ll pay for that too. I’m going after Mexican/Central/South American deals aggressively. I speak Spanish and get along well with the locals. . I have multiple investment-properties in Canada. My cashflow is healthy. Once I move, my cashflow will be obscenely high because of low cost of living there. I’ve done ALL the math. . My net worth is already rising pretty steadily. Once I live off-shore I should be in a position to acquire 2-3 investment properties a year in top-tier North American cities- while living in paradise and travelling, both for work and personally. . Between equity, steadily rising base, CRO position mine for the taking, and genuinely staggering property-values I should be able to retire by 35 on the residuals.. if I want to. . Who the fuck wants to give up the hunt though? 😈 . Also trying to start up a side-hustle with a buddy.

Sr Director, sales and partnerships
I have a decent amount of equity and was one of the first hires with a good client list. I can lateral to another Director role, or up to VP. My end goal is to be on one or 2 more early start-ups and then go the VC route. Lots of finance experience and a network through my MBA program will enable that.

Sell a bunch and then move into sales leadership. Grow my network full of influential people in the VC space and ride the IPO train. Then half retire while I enjoy my wealth traveling.

FIRE so my primary occupation becomes managing my assets instead of schlepping someone else's ideas for a cut of the proceeds.
