There will always be people working less and earning more than you. Just think of the lottery winners. Following this path you may hit the line of 300k/yr but won't find contentment. Don't get caught by the hedonic treadmill! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedonic_treadmill On the other hand if you just want to earn 300k/yr regardless of the salary of others than you know what you have to do.

True, this is one of my worries, but honestly, I don't feel happy knowing that I am underpaid than my market value too. Thanks for the input.
