That value proposition of stability is a high for those that have a life outside of work. Why does a typical engineer optimize for leetcode and FAANG salaries? Because they have shit else to establish self respect.

That seems unnecessarily harsh.

I've known a lot of people who have a thriving life outside of work, but are also very driven and value their work highly.

Essentially its ok to sell your soul for 40 hours (likely more) a week as long as it allows you to pursue your own interests outside of work.
