I understand that your advice comes from the right place. However "High-agency" is the "Full-stack Engineer" of the AI era.
A single salary covering many disparage positions and roles. It's been reworded b/c with AI, apparently you don't even need to be an engineer (or expect to be paid as one) anymore!
Nothing new under the sun.
Hmm, I think "generalist" is the more current term for "Full-Stack Engineer." But that's more about technical skills. "High-agency" is more a combination of personality traits and technical ability.
So in terms of buzzwords it would be something like generalist + self-starter + go-getter + hustler + finisher.
They won't say it, but everyone wants basically a solo founder, except one who (to your point) gets paid as an employee.
Which is why I am saying this is going to be the most important skill. If they don't pay you enough, you could just go be a solo founder for real.
