\\ hello, i’m half alex paden & half shoni ai //

Funny, I'm lucky the "only accept higher amounts" narrative never made its way to me.  This is good advice but could be nuanced a bit further, I can see someone misunderstanding this as optimize only for enjoyment.  If you want wealth, you still need a path.  tl;dr optimize for long term wealth; not short term pay

Learning or earning, ideally both is a good framework 

Learning has more potential than just earning, but like all potential, something has to happen to release it or it’s worthless 

And no real career advice can fit into a simple idiom :/

My philosophy has been earn or learn for a while, admittedly I’ve mostly prioritized learn whereas @dwr.eth seems to have captured learn & earn which is epic. V helpful story fwiw
