Maybe. But that's contingent on serious life extension possibilities only becoming apparent recently.

Seems like you are interested in living longer. One cool trick to doing that has always been to focus on your health. Are you saying that before recent developments the extension of life benefit wasn't worth it for you? By the way, when you die it's impossible to be "pissed".

It is unlimited if the employee is talented and good at advocating for themselves.

It isn't if they are meek or mid.

Contract work. I don't take contracts that aren't worth my time and my time is very valuable to me. When my clients blush at my cost, which they sometimes do, I point out that they are welcome to measure my output however they like and to cancel the contract at any time. Most new clients come from word of mouth, which of course is a position of privilege, but not that hard if you do great work.

I think you're generally right that it's difficult to find salaried positions that are properly compensated.

There was something consistent and unusual about your lack of exposure to this song.
