I've always been conscientious and it really backfired. When something breaks at 2am they call me to fix. They never call the recently hired slick-talking guru who experiments with the latest cool technology but can't actually deliver anything and who will leave before the end of the year anyway.

- nathias 5y agoare you bragging about how you let your employer call you at 2am to fix things?

- Gareth321 5y agoDon't feel bad. Conscientious people earn more because people like them more. Just remember to negotiate well, because conscientious people often feel bad about negotiating hard. You shouldn't feel bad about asking for solid compensation for your work. Especially if you're getting up at 2am.
- testmasterflex 5y agoI don’t think agreeableness (the inability to negotiate for yourself to have more than others) correlates to conscientiousness.
