I currently make about 24k a year as a part time engineer (which should go up to around 40k if I go full time for this company). I stay because of other benefits (good health care in Japan, remote work with bimonthly meetings, and most importantly I am doing good work with data that helps people in some way). I honestly don’t think high pay is out there for what I want from a company. This one I work in checks all the boxes, for me. But if I pursue more money, I’d probably be stuck working in some crappy conpany where I’m a number.

You said it torgian; I'm looking for a company with Emotional Agility operating according to The Startup Way where people treat each other humanely and perks don't masquerade as strategy. I'd care to know more about your job in Japan if you would be willing to share

  We should chat. Or you should check out weworkremotely.com. These companies do exist.

> But if I pursue more money, I’d probably be stuck working in some crappy conpany where I’m a number. Why the false dichotomy? You might be able to find an employer who will pay you better and satisfy you in other ways too. Stranger things have happened...
