Having a comfortable job long term with this attitude is career suicide. Not only should you be constantly trying to advance financially, you need to be learning new things with different roles and environments. Else you risk putting all your eggs in one basket, with no where to go if your longtime comfortable position vanishes some day.
- ori_b 17y agoFinancial gain is independent of learning new roles and environments. I wouldn't be comfortable in a job where I wasn't constantly expanding my knowledge and learning new things. However, once I make enough money to cover good food, nice housing, and a few adult toys, I couldn't care less about how much I earn. Making more money is a very small factor in my career decisions.
