    I’m staying put till the interest rates start falling. I don’t want to get hired (locked into a particular salary order of magnitude) when capitalism is cautious. I want to get hired when capitalism is stupid

      This comment makes no sense. You can change jobs any time, and the sooner you get paid more, the sooner you can switch to a position that pays even higher

        You may be right - I do see my gigachad ex-coworker change companies every year. Guess I’m just more scared of having lots of short employments on my CV, or maybe I’m just locked into my way of thinking even if it doesn’t make much sense.

        Also capitalism has no bearing on what you’re paid.

        Like, you can work exclusively in government roles, NGOs, or co-ops and change jobs every 3 years and make vastly more than you were making when you started.
