Maybe it’s because I literally do not give a shit about the company or it’s products or customers. I just want money. In fact, I want the opposite kind of imposter syndrome, where I trick the people hiring me into thinking I’m much more qualified than I actually am get paid a shit ton more money. Yes I know C++, Pascal, Assembly, COBOL. Please pay me $500k.
They know they don't deserve such high wages.
everyone deserves high wages actually, tech workers aren't any more deserving of them than other laborers but they certainly deserve to not have their surplus value stolen
