makes me happy to hear people like you do what makes them happy, not more money.

  Well, if it makes you happier I've declined many, many pay raises at the company to manage its finances, reduced my salary so others get paid, and proposed I go without it at times. So did a couple of colleagues. I remember the then CTO and cofounder, who quit about a year and a half in, telling me that's all they could pay. I couldn't prevent the thought of "Awww, I want to build a mitherfucking organization out of this" from crossing my mind. For now, it's a unibrow like myself, not a multicorn yet. We'll get there.
