What's your passion?

So my challenge would be you “get paid for what you have done not could do”

the culture where i work is that you salary / raises / are a investment in what the company feels you can achieve or will achieve. bonuses are for the work you have done. Like many design firms that are proud to show what they have done over the last 10 / 20 / 30 years but do not have any of the same employees… i care what they are going to do for me specifically.

So i would challenge the OP to better understand where she feels she can bring the most value to a employer with the balance of also providing themselves with the most fulfillment.
