summary
Compares concrete career tradeoffs with numbers — e.g. 80k vs 100k tradeoff where higher pay can come with less influence — and warns that repeated 10k raises early often mean under-hiring, not exceptional performance. Explains legal hiring fact: illegal to ask current salary, and contrasts contractor pay vs benefits. Shows career moves that worked: shifting from support to implementation, then to devrel at Sitecore, and how to win resources by pitching initiatives with milestones and metrics.
