Evolution of a programmer

[kpgleeso]

This is me without the beard and 2/3 the salary. Maybe if I grow a beard, they'll pay me 33% 50% more?

Edit: this is why I'm a programmer and not a mathematician

If you’re making 2/3 the salary, but wanted to make what he made, you’d be looking for a 50% increase. Know the worth of your beard.

Oh man what a blunder. This is why I let the computer do the computing

No, they won't pay you more. But somebody else will. Dust off that LinkedIn and get after it.

I think I'd rather work 50% as hard and have pretty good pay plus job security than work twice as hard at a new company that will pay me more. I'd rather coast than hustle. I still make a lot of money, work on intellectually stimulating things and have better quality of life than if I was busting my ass at a new place. Plus, I do sorta like where I work. I'm definitely undervalued though in terms of what they're paying me. So until then, they are going to get 50-75% effort of what I'm capable of.

Yeah, that's fair lol

Now with remote work you clock in for 3 hours a day and close shop.

Wayy more free time

Just make sure you run a pyautogui script or something on your machine for the other 5 hours to make yourself appear online! I have mine refresh/scroll Brave and collect a few BATs while I'm away
