Yes, I felt those exact same things within 24 hours of bonus and salary announcements. "I'm getting screwed!" And then, "How am I getting paid 90k for this work? This is not at all value-add."

I weekly Hot take. There is far to much hand holding when it comes to map exploration in many Open world games. I rarely ever use the mark feature because the map is already lit up with way points for every little thing. Take genshin impact. It will lead you to your next quest objectives but any secrets or collectibles don't have a way point. You can even see on 3rd party maps how obnoxious it would be if they all did.

Maybe I’m out of the loop…but how are all these consultants on here making low to mid six figures with 3 years industry experience? Perhaps I’m just in the wrong industries but that seems too short a time to be advising others in a field. Are these just internet exaggerations? Or is there something big I’m missing?
