I feel like we’re always told to give 110%, take initiative, do more than what’s asked but does it actually pay off?

Sometimes it leads to growth and recognition. Other times, it just becomes the new expectation and you’re stuck doing extra without anything really changing.

So I’m curious, has going above and beyond genuinely helped you in your career, or just added more to your plate?

Added more to my plate. But it's also kept me employed. I think that's the hidden benefit you're overlooking, not that it's much of one. Being the reliable person gives you job security, and there isn't a lot of that to go around right now.

I generally try to do more to add skills to my resume. I hope it leads to a better job down the line. A promotion or another job that is a level up. It’s frustrating though when you feel stagnant even though you’re doing a lot more

It’s going to depend on the leadership at your company. There have been times my willingness to go above and beyond was taken advantage of. However, most of the time it’s resulted in me getting raises or promotions.

Both. It has EVENTUALLY led to a promotion in one case. And in another case, it was just more work with no recognition or extra pay. I learned and all, but in the grand scheme of things, if you’re not looking to move up, it’ll just be a bigger workload
