Unless you think said job is edging into "oh shit I might be part of the Nuremberg Trials II" territory.

Life got short for quite a few historical Nazis.

Sure, and I agree, but that's not really related to what GP is saying

It's related to what you are saying. It's a non-monetary reason it'd be non-insane to leave the role; "set for life" doesn't do you much good if you're in The Hague.

No, it's not. Here, I'll repeat the context for you:

> > Arguably a competent person wouldn't have persisted in a role where it was obvious they were not able to make a meaningful difference.

> You'd be insane to leave a job with such few responsibilities and such insane compensation. Set for life.

Pay special attention to the phrasing "a role". We are not talking about specifically this role.

> You'd be insane to leave a job with such few responsibilities and such insane compensation. Set for life.

Again: you would not be insane to do so if staying in the job has substantial non-compensation consequences. Like jail.

Some might argue there are more important things in life than compensation.

Self-respect, for example.
