More like "no amount of money is enough to make me happy doing this shit"
- flippinburgers 4y agoI would be thrilled to take some pretty "miserable" programming work for 7 digit compensation.
- antod 4y agoThere's a difference between happy to have that pay and being happy at work. It's also not just the programming itself. I would turn down 7 digit compensation if it was going to mean intense burn out, depression and/or anxiety due to toxic management and impossible demands. The toll that shit takes on my personal life, my families lives and the way it removes my ability to even enjoy having that money for years afterwards isn't worth it.
