I really resonate with the term "moat of low status" and it's how I've operated to my advantage. If I want to go for something, I don't care if the work is "lower status" or how others view me (e.g. joined Coinbase in a junior role unrelated to my work experience to get foot in the door, did grunt work on a documentary to learn the film world, etc)

After a year learning to code as a hobby and my startup failed, had to decide to go back to a management position with seniority or to start from zero as a dev.
