Am I weird to be only passionate about money? Money makes me happy. I like earning the bucks and I honestly don’t care of the type of work or industry (not talking about anything that crosses legal or ethical lines here). I don’t get the hype about “you have to follow your passion” or “your job should make you happy”. What kind of laboring makes anyone happy? Just work for the money.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with just working a job for the compensation - that’s the majority of people imo because most people’s passions aren’t lucrative unless they’re in the top 0.000000000001% of their field. Making money for the sake of making money though is probably a little unhealthy. Money should be a means to an end, not the end itself

Thats not passion. That's greed.

Woof

Let's clarify. Do you like making money, or do you like spending it? What'd make you happier--an unrealized $10,000 gain in your portfolio, or a five day luxury exotic vacation that costs $10,000?

There is nothing wrong with it. Doing the least amount of work to make the most amount of money is a great way to live… enjoy it !

You obviously quite enjoy what you do, so enjoy and comfort yourself with the cash. If you worked in a job that you hated or the job/people made you miserable EVERY single day, no amount of money can help that and it is destructive over the longer term which is why people say that money is only part of the equation. Hope you never have to experience that.

Conduent HR is ghosting even after sending a salary break up. When I finally got hold of her she told me to send the counter offer through mail.

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar. Long story short, I was brought into my current firm and promised that the work I want to do is within the team/solution they recruited me for and aligned me with in the system. However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)
