Keep Grinding

In most workplaces, capable people end up doing more. But more work doesn’t always mean more reward.

It took me a while to really accept this. I used to think that if you do good work, you’ll naturally get noticed. Turns out that’s not how it works. Doing good work is just the entry ticket. Getting noticed is a whole different game.

So—coast or keep betting? I chose to keep betting.

But before you bet, you need to confirm one thing: is this a place where people can actually notice? If not, all that effort is just performing for yourself.
