I’m a creative web developer for more than 15 years now, with a strong passion to share my knowledge and support junior developers. You can ask me anything.
When I took a new position with a much lower payment for the first time I was looking for new challenges. The job before wasn’t toxic, but I wanted a larger team, more challenging tasks and new technologies again.
It might also be important that the 2 times with lower payments haven’t been in a row, so that I didn’t lower my payment with every new job.
When I was looking for a more challenging job and an environment that could fit my expectations better, I found that many companies with a higher salary had crazy expectations in return. “Take the good money, but be okay with sacrificing the rest of your life”. That’s why I decided to take less money and a better environment instead.
