In your experience, is "Going above and beyond" rewarded by your company? Or is it taken for granted?

I’d say it’s usually recognized but only occasionally rewarded.

Neither. Usually just raises the bar higher with little to no benefit. If anything, you put a target on your back signaling you're easily exploited.

Be wary if "going above and beyond" ever becomes an expectation.

I’m only interested in going above and beyond if the reward is a promotion. I feel like I’m basically setting everyone up to expect a caliber work from me that is above my pay/level? I’m scamming myself.

Everyone wins if I simply meet expectations.

It’s definitely rewarded and recognized but often the reward is not worth the work

I say it depends.. is that the standard or expectation or not…

Lol no

Depends how you define it. Going above and beyond the average employee at the firm versus the average employee in industry is going to look different.

Depends but overall, I’d say no.

Recognized, but usually not worth the effort. Working 25% harder for a year won't get you a 25% bonus, raise or promo, for example.

What’s the general guidance on the order to maximize retirement contributions for tax benefits for an normal individual and for a self employed/small business owner before moving to taxable accounts or alternate vehicles like cash value life policies?

For self employed: max SEP IRA/solo 401k->max roth IRA->max trad IRA->max HSA
