    Sorry if you need to learn this, but compensation has little to do with ability or merit in a lot of place that need to screen share.

      Also, ability to screen-share has little to do with the competencies that pay the bills on most places.

        And screen-share knowledge is not some skill that is short in supply and high in demand. Every year tons of people graduate to fill those low level IT jobs. It’s simple economics, jobs that are easily filled are the ones that pay the least.

        People here are delusional. They have been fed white lies by their parents and teachers that if they are smart and just work hard they get rewarded abundantly. It’s not how the world works.

          That one, it kind of is. But people have an irrational cap on how much they will pay, so the demand is extremely elastic.

          What means that if you manage to be extremely productive, you will be rewarded disproportionately. But if you don’t, you’ll lack rewards disproportionately too.
