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

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

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 :/

Right! I feel very close to needing to apply my earnings beyond some personal projects- I haven’t built too much confidence as an employee yet, but whenever I utilize my full skill set it seems to be noticed pretty quickly, which makes me feel great!
