I should probably have been more precise. I am single, and among single earners, I am at about the 98th percentile and have had job offers above the 99th percentile. However, I am somewhere around the 94th percentile of household incomes, where the 99th percentile is around $400,000.
I estimate that I could get a salary+bonus of roughly $250K with a few months of searching at the moment. And by estimate, I mean that I literally turned down a job for that amount of money.
I really should have just said that up front instead of being coy.
Given that the top 1% in the US have a household income of $400,000, I’d strongly favour earning to give. The most relevant post on this is Peter Hurford thinks that a large proportion of people should earn to give long term (the second most upvoted article here ever).
I am nowhere near $400,000.

Can you tell us roughly what income you’re looking at through ETG? :)
I don’t know what you mean by “through ETG”.
