Along with income, have you thought about building your assets (e.g., stocks, relationships, things you make) to generate wealth?

Wealth comes from owning things that become more valuable, rather than a stream of income. You can put effort into earning that $350k compensation. Or you can try to invest that effort into building or owning other things that get more valuable. A lot of things don't actually become more valuable passively, though stocks are an exception.
Totally agree, appreciating assets are useful for wealth. Land, oil, and minerals are good examples.
