Is there something inherently wrong with finding meaning (or perhaps motivation) from compensation? Particularly if you're using money for worthwhile reasons? You might be surprised at how motivating a big bag of stock options in a unicorn startup can be (ok, maybe not so much in recent times :-)).
- aristofun 4y agoIt’s not wrong but it’s like selling your soul to the devil. You’re wasting time doing meaningless stuff to earn money youll spend consuming. Contributing to Promoting this vicious circle.
- alatkins 4y agoAs I mentioned, doing something worthwhile not just empty consumption. Ensuring financial security for yourself and/or family is a virtuous thing in my book, cf. being underpaid at a non-profit for the social impact.
- aristofun 4y agoSure. Im speaking only about the case when you’re above your family basic needs fulfilled.
