>Your advice at the end is good but I would add that you shouldn't let others take advantage of you.

Everybody is being taken advantage of if you think about it, especially if you're a salaried employee.

Hell, if you ask Googlers earning $600k they'll think they're being taken advantage of. If you ask CEOs of F500 companies they'll also think they're being take advantage of. If you ask Multi-Billionaires with offshore accounts in tax havens to pay their fair share of taxes, they'll also think they're bein taken advantage of.

If you let this way of thinking drive your life, you'll end up very miserable.

I disagree.

If you think every employer is going to take advantage of you, then you should start a business and become self-employed.

I'm very happy working where I do. I'm well paid and genuinely like the people I work with. I've been here for 20 years now.
