One's life, each stage has things to do and distances that can be calculated.

Why does the same work pay more for some people

The difference is not in effort, but in "replaced by others" ability

1Distress · What will he say

Why do I work hard but earn less
How can I get a raise
Should I change jobs
Why does someone rise quickly
Should I change careers
Where is my value

2Real Need · How to verify

It's not "low salary", but "the work I do can be done by anyone else, so my price can't go up".

Verification Signals (count as valid if two or more are met):
 · Highly standardized work content
 · No ability to independently price
 · Three-year income growth below inflation

3Economic Principle · What is happening in this stage

Capital Theory / Economics

Composition of Organization: Capital is increasingly invested in machines, technology, and processes, relatively less in people. The manifestation is——The higher the standardization of work, the lower the price.

The essence of getting a raise is not "more effort", but to make yourself less easily replaceable: go towards judgment, relationships, and long-term accumulation.

4Desire · What does it look like

Have an ability that others can't replace

Can price independently

Have a choice

5Gap · How to judge

What to look at

Replaced by others · Percentage of judgment-based work · Independent pricing ability

How to judge

Ask: How long will a new person take to take over my work; is there anyone willing to pay me separately

Health status

Taking over needs >3 months · Judgment-based ≥40% · Had independent income

6Gap · Divided into three levels

MildHave accumulation but not outstanding → Deepen
ModeratePure execution → Must upgrade
SevereTotally replaceable → Transform immediately

7Common Misconceptions · The wrong path to take

Reliance on overtime pay —— Hourly wage actually drops and is exhausted

Only waiting for promotion in one company —— Ceiling is set by the company

Blindly changing jobs —— Breaks accumulation

Only learning in the industry —— Can't cross boundaries, skills have poor risk resistance

Believing that effort will be noticed —— The market only looks at replaceability

8The right path

Calculate your real hourly wage (income ÷ working hours including overtime)

Ask yourself: How long will a new person take to take over my work

Enlarge the "judgment" part of the work

Establish an ability that can be charged independently

Remember: Getting a raise depends on "change", not "wait"
