You see, 30% raise for a 300% workload increase is counter intuitive.
Still you will focus on % raise than actually calculating your % workload increase
and then renegotiating.
Again, 30% raise for a 300% workload increase
Net gain = -270%
That's not growth
That's disguised inefficiency
and That's how you stay below your earning capacity
Fact is, most job seekers optimize for salary.
Smart ones optimize for energy arbitrage
You don't get rich trading time for stress
But sure.. go ahead and flex your 30% raise..
When you are done... Pause.
Now calculate:
– What % did your workload go up?
– How many more hats are you wearing?
– How many weekends did you lose?
– And most importantly: Can you sustain this? Can you build on it?
Because with that raise? You absorbed the Workload increase.
And you will compensate.. with your bandwidth. with your peace.
with your future burnout.
And that's the part unfortunately nobody talks about.
