Ever feel like companies care more about how fast you work than how good your work actually is

You're not imagining it—and the real problem goes much deeper than deadlines or burnout.

If everything you do in tech is measured in hours, there's a hard ceiling on how much you can earn. In this episode,

I'll show you why that ceiling exists, and how top developers break past it without tracking hours. You'll learn how experienced consultants think about value, why businesses don't buy "effort," and how companies actually realize money from growth and cost savings.

This isn't about tricks, confidence hacks, or negotiating harder. It's about understanding how companies measure value—and positioning your work so you're paid accordingly.
