> Making more money allows you to donate more to organizations that hire full time staff to achieve your broader goals for the world. > More money means more options, more wiggle room. Generally while having less time for yourself and suffering more. That's brilliant. I'll take a dozen. > Also, to me personally, the choice between hybrid and full remote isn’t even a choice. Exactly. Being able (have) to commute to a campus which has a forest inside and ample place to walk with fresh air beats having to stay in a flat 9 hours 5 days a week by a mile.

If you're able to work from home, why not live inside a forest with fresh air and walking space?

>Generally while having less time for yourself and suffering more. The article is talking about a fusion startup that pays less vs a "normal sort of business" that pays more. I would expect the startup to require more work. And other example is videogame development. Videogame developers get paid less and have to work more compared to other software developers.

  Working in an area you're passionate about doesn't mean you have to work more, even if it's a startup. I know people who work in startups do great work, but no overtime, and finish what they have to finish on time. On the other hand, I have seen established companies which expect you do overtime with no overpay, because they pay you more than competitors already. While I'm not working in a startup, I turned down numerous job offers just because I love my job and money is not my primary motivation, like the author of the post. I also did my share of overtime and oft-glorified all-nighters for a long period of time. On the other hand, I'll argue that all-nighters are unnecessary most of the time, and a good indicator of mismanagement. Game developers love their job and I respect them with all my being, but they are exploited far too often. This still rings in my head from time to time: https://ea-spouse.livejournal.com/274.html https://ea-spouse.livejournal.com/274.html
