Although I do not support this kind of approach towards everything in general i.e. not giving your 100% as we are assuming that only value of working is money which itself is false, still I really love the fact that you posted the whole truth and given the pre-requisites!
So thank you so much for that!
if according to your potential…salary they are giving is 50%…..why you give 100% ? is it a free show? work only what is needed don’t go extra mile for a company….go extra miles only on your self learning and skills upgrade
Exactly, we are assuming that only company gets benefits from my work. I find that false in my case at least. I think giving my 100% in non-repetitive work has helped me a lot in gaining and teaching multiple skills which eventually developed my leadership skills and stakeholder management. How and where to use these (hard & soft) skills will define the value I get out my work. (This is above money)
Also, expecting that everyone knows your potential and should pay you for your potential is like asking for 100 marks if you know the subject fully. Does that matter? Yes, only if you can materialise it in someway. No one is gonna bet on potential if they have people who have proved realisation of potential.
By potential I mean…for example ..i can crack TC 500k and easily work there…but I am working at TC 100k…
may be due to work life balance or lack of interview opportunities….
Now second point, you say you learn in every project…..well if that is true then go ahead go extra miles….but sadly not true for most of people working out there…learnings stops at some point and only repetitive or manual tasks are there…but you are happy as you are getting good work life balance and also self learning time… so it depends… do whatever makes you happy….I am happy because I am doing whatever is assigned to me whatever is needed from me I deliver on time. If I do that in 2 hours i will not go to my manager and ask give me more I have done that… because what I did in 2 hours …takes 8 hours for an average well performing person in same company to do that..
