Everyone wants to make more money, but early in your career, a big raise can be a big problem.
If your lifestyle grows with your salary, you can find yourself trapped by a mortgage, car payments, and monthly subscriptions, unable to take high growth jobs because you can’t take a pay cut.
A high income makes it harder to leave your job, but it can also make it harder to keep it.
With a high salary comes high expectations. Early in your career being paid a low salary is liberates you because it allows you to crush expectations and create way more value than you are paid. This surplus in value is the ultimate job security.
