I asked for a 100k pay reduction so I could grind harder

This is your best video yet in my opinion

Spot on man, been deploying this strategy since middle school to impress my classmates and friends, word of mouth is more potent and trustworthy than any other self-marketing, it was basically the earliest form of aura farming😂
@Bubs0271
Completely true. Intelligence can get you far. Knowing how to play people and situations will get you way farther. Only giving 40-50% as your benchmark, then when asked a favor, you give 100% all at once, and say yeah, thats my normal, you can snow them over really well. Always have another job lined up for negotiation.
@dompaet
Bro all your stories are opening my eyes to the game of the industry. I’m a construction technology engineer that’s basically the data accuracy tech side of all the construction equipment. Me and my colleague run our department for the whole region that revenues about $500million in work. I just want to thank you for giving me this knowledge and hope I can use it in my next review. 😅 keep making videos!
@snoogles007
European here. There's another side to this that I see a lot over here. Intelligence gets pushed out because it's outside the norm of the organisation. Suggestions go over people's heads. Higher performance is seen as a threat to existing norms. I heard the phrase "a bad organisation beats a good person every time" and felt it describes our situation exactly. Europe is a stable place compared to the USA, but this can keep low-performing employees in place, in service of the status quo. You hit the jackpot with a firm that actually wants intelligence!

@Airouh
this is a gem of a channel. insights from someone who already "made it" in different senses. please keep doing what you are doing.
@Sfg116
I come from a completely different walk of life and different profession, your innate ability to recall moments and tell stories is something anyone can appreciate/ relate to. Love your channel
@RicardUrroz
Mate this video is gold, amazing info!!!
@jasonchen5927
Super smart, very honest and helps in grounding me tbh. Love your videos, talking about the things that actually make the difference despite them being politically incorrect.
@Seun7
Well said on the EQ vs IQ; it applies everywhere lol. More blessings finesse king
@quaant-he1nz
I wish I had come across someone saying this at the start of my career, instead it took me awhile to figure it out. Great advice. When I finally got a job in quant first thing I did was move to a better prop fund. Whilst there I waited out a year and took interviews. For each interview I said I was late stage with other firms, they all pushed me to final rounds pretty quickly. Once I got offers I negotiated hard between them and ended up with 6x my base salary in one year, I’m a QT. I have a higher yearly comp than what I see online. It’s higher than the top tier phd hires and I’m not at JS or Citadel securities.

You are the realest guy I've listened to in a long time. Going to check your other stuff out.
@wilsun007
Love the bursty working strategy. Would love to hear more about it - and how that director got his job in the first place!
@beerkegaard
Bursty work is 100% correct. Management only pays attention to you for a moment. During that time you want to absolutely nail it. Then you can coast.
@ijosephkim
50+ year old retired professor and entrepreneur. I 100% agree with the potential thesis, but one thing to add is that I think the potential of IQ applies significantly more in your 20s and maybe even 30s. I think the efficacy of IQ diminishes as you age. As you age, once you hit a sort of minimum for your job - floor is higher depending on the job of course - EQ matters a lot more especially in leadership. Working with senior leaders in corporations, I see so many times a guy that I think is lower IQ for his work - again not low but lower - do very well bc he knows how to work with others well. I've also seen guys in their 50s with high IQs really get screwed in their companies bc of this dynamic. Of course if you're high IQ you probably have a better chance of succeeding alone anyways in business, but the team players with good EQ do so much better as we age.
@carlosrodriguez-hv5px
Great advice. Act like your a genius vs. hard worker. Frame a new increase in pay based on the assumption that you're available 24/7. Negotiate 100k vs. Equity, that way you net around 5,500 a month extra for the joy of being stuck in such a scenario. Brilliant EQ & IQ!
