Work pressure is often misunderstood. When you have a high impact role, pressure is always there. How you handle pressure depends on your competency, skillsets and your own personal disposition. What matters then is how much you care about the work. If you don’t actually care about the work the pressure becomes toxic. If you care about it, it acts as a catalyst to get amazing things done.
Compensation comes and sits on top of this - if you are compensated well, you generally also care about the work. If you aren’t compensated well, you start caring less.
These are three completely unrelated variables.
