I think in general there is a negative relationship between money and interesting work. There are definitely outliers, but you have to get lucky (or unlucky).

I think in general there is a negative relationship between money and interesting work. There are definitely outliers, but you have to get lucky (or unlucky). At one end of the spectrum, you can come up with a great idea and spend day and night working on it as a solo founder. Your wage might be 0, but the work will be as interesting as can possibly be since you are the only one deciding what you are working on. At the other end of this, you can imagine a hypothetical position where for $5,000,0000/year, you would do anything you are asked no matter how boring. Where you exist on this scale is up to you.
