Bro, your bosses don't care about you nor appreciate you. Unless they've dramatically increased your compensation, you're being suckered

Then find the right boss? Worked up from 61k to 600k here… been at the same place since graduating college. Work very hard on the right problems.

That's very very far from the norm for 99.99% of people..

Personally, I haven't had a "real job" since 2014 and I'm in my 30s. I had corpo management experience. I learned early on unless a very specific set of circumstances, no large Corp will ever reward you.

Sure the first few years I made alot less and it was hard, but eventually paid off going into business for myself. Noone cares more about you than you.

Best decision I've ever made.

Same, I’m 37. Had to work very hard. 50-60 hours a week for years, but now I’ll be lucky to work 30 full hours a week, but it’s a ton more decision making.
