I don't know. How much time do people put into side projects that make money? 15-20 hours/week? I work 40 hours/week at a Big-N, but if I put another 15-20 hours per week into my current job I'd get promoted extremely quickly, and get a bigger raise from that promotion than any "side project" I could come up with. I don't want to do any of that, and moving companies is still probably the easiest way to get a large raise, but my point stands.

> if I put another 15-20 hours per week into my current job I'd get promoted extremely quickly That'd be a very rare circumstance. In most jobs working 15-20 hours overtime each week only gets you 15-20 hours less for living your own life, nothing else.

  In software engineering? At all companies I've been at or have intimately known about, there have been clear guidelines for promotions and examples to look at. These are medium to large companies. FAANG and non-FAANG. I'm sure you're right in a lot of cases, but I feel like at most software companies I'm not too far off.
