Reply to comment by SoulfulYam in Morgan Stanley finally lures bankers back to the office 5 days a week by smallint

I started my career in an office for 7 years and wondered why I couldn’t really move up. Quit that, started working from home, boom, my skills seemed to get 10x better. Went from developer to senior developer and then to VP of Engineering in a few years. THAT is how much I improved by eliminating a bad work environment.

Nice. I'm hoping I can make serious career progression. My goal is to job hop until I finally make enough that I seem satisfactory.

So serious career progression is an increase in salary?

Would you take a pay cut for a better title, at a smaller company?

That would depend very heavily on a variety of factors, although I don't make as much as you may think I do. Do you have something in mind you wanted to ask me? Would you like to DM if so?
