- rapind 17y agoI think the money motivator is important, but as presented in the TED vid, it can definitely narrow your focus. I.e. pay me enough and let me spend some of my time on interesting work and you'll benefit more than pay me alot and micro manage me.
- jrockway 17y agoReally? Would you take a $10,000 pay raise to clean the inside of sewage holding tanks?
- HeyLaughingBoy 17y agoHonestly? I would at least consider it; I'm a pretty well paid senior developer in a lower cost of living area relative to the coasts (upper Midwest). Why? As I get older I am less and less capable of sitting in front of a computer screen all day: I just get antsy and want to go outside. I'm not afraid of hard physical work: I live on a small farm and there are plenty of chores to do every day. If I could be paid my current salary to do something where I didn't have to sit under fluorescent lights all day I would really think seriously about it.
