There’s only 24 hours in a day. At some point, people make more money not because they can do more, but because of what they do.
The first factor that gets weighed, then, is how well you do what you do. This is results driven. KPIs. OKRs. Sales goals. Or it could be impact you have on a team and how well you lead a project.
The secondary factor that is often overlooked is almost back to square one: what you do.
Do you have the really tough, unpleasant conversations? Do you carry the weight of ownership of bigger goals? Are you the one that has to make massive decisions, fast and in the moment?
If the answer is yes to those, you get paid more than someone who answers no.
On the path to financial progress, there’s no faking it until you make it… Do the things you do well so you check that box. Then do the things people simply get paid more for doing.
Don’t wait for the responsibility. Give it to yourself.
