How do the CDs on the bowl truly feel about your compensation? I make a good amount of money, but this industry and this job asks for more than your 9-5 commitment. Ideas and creative fixes don't can't just be summoned when you want them to, and most times, my brain is working for projects WELL into the evening ... if not until I hit the bed. When I think of that level of involvement, I wish I was making more. At least, all my friends think I make more than I do haha. What about you?

Well, it sounds a little bit like you could manage your time better and be strict with your boundaries. I think it's not the right approach to think that you're getting compensated for obsessively thinking about the work you're passionate about.

I couldn’t agree more. You do have to fight to keep your boundaries. And I am being intentional in using the word fight, it feels like a battle.

smart

What I think about compensation is that I'm very much in favor of it. As much as possible, in fact. And I honestly don't have complaints in that department. As far as working too much, it all comes down to discipline. And having discipline is just part of being professional. You have to be able to summon ideas when they're required, that's the work. If you're thinking about ideas late at night, fair enough, but that's not really working. That's just ideas gestating. The great satirist S.J. Perelman was once asked about ideas and he said he liked to "let them steep in the deep underground vats." Same here.

Has anyone who's worked in HR, Finance, or another role with visibility to compensation information been able to use that as leverage for salary negotiations?

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.
