Similarly, if you're not negotiating the best possible rate for every gig you take, you're doing it wrong. It's entirely possible to do something you love for a fun team with good technology and a product that genuinely benefits the world as a whole, while earning a better than market rate salary. Try not to mistake looking out for your own interests with disregarding everything apart from money. They're orthogonal.
