Yes AND if you could be doing that same passionate work that you want to do anyway AND get more compensation for it, would you not also want that? There's a grey layer of advocating for ourselves that we're not taught in school, and I think that is what some folks are keying in to. If you're putting in overtime or working outside your job description, then talk to your boss about _also_ getting compensated for that. I started a company to do negotiation and self-advocacy coaching so I'm a little biased, but in my experience we do a disservice to paint "self-advocacy" as a false dichotomy or an extreme of ego vs self-sacrifice. Self-advocacy is simply part of all healthy relationships, including professional ones.
