No, it's called having a life and a sense of proportion. The sooner tech companies learn to embrace and work with this very basic fact, the better.

- wolfgke 8y ago> No, it's called having a life and a sense of proportion. Perhaps I don't grasp some subtle cultural reference of "sense of proportion" since I am no native speaker of English. But I clearly find it much more exciting to work on projects with the chance to change the world than what you call in German derogatorily "Biedermeierei" (for Biedermeier: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Biedermeier&oldid=877725672; https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Biedermeier&oldid... the ending "-rei" in this case denigrate the term "Biedermeier"). The following section in the German Wikipedia explains this much better than the article in the English Wikipedia: > https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Biedermeier&oldid=184580973#Leben_und_Kultur https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Biedermeier&oldid...

- drugme 8y agoLet's put it this way: "Sure, I'll consider abandoning all priorities (i.e. social life) and/or putting off others (kids) -- and maybe even take minor risks on my health -- if you you're able to appropriate compensation." Guess what, though? In the vast majority of cases -- even when we're talking about the bulge-bracket FAANG salaries occasionally gloated about in these and other parts -- simply don't come anywhere close enough to providing that level of compensation. All of their pretensions to the contrary.
