I would be making 1/4 of my current salary if I didn't work in a place were impromptu discussions could happen.
If my job was WFH (its not and can't be), I would still probably be doing the same stupid entry level shit with mediocre raises. Thanks to impromptu/casual conversation though, I got pulled out from under my manager and moved to a much higher position in another department (this was over a year or so, not just a one off conversation)
I could interact with higherups without being viewed as "going over my bosses head", and to me that's insanely valuable.
