Yeah, I get it, and you're not wrong - you'll probably end up with a higher salary operating that way. It's just not for me. I've already reached my "good enough" salary (the hard way), and at this point I'm more focused on what I can give back.
You don't get it. It's not about you.
Statistically, with this setup, companies will constantly underpay. Yes, there will be some outliers being overpaid or those happy with their salary, but most will be in fact underpaid.
What don't I get exactly? I said "it's just not for me." I'm not sure how I can be much more clear that the sentiment was in fact about me.
We are talking about systemic problems here and you came in practically going ME, ME, ME.
See how that could be considered a little tone deaf? :-)
