By lower profile, I mean shitty work. Suppose you are a distributed systems or an ML engineer. Would you accept a testing profile from another company if offered a higher salary than your current role? Why/why not?
If you are already top of the band TC for that level and you have been offered 2.5x-3x, its worth considering. Otherwise not so much, as you can always trade up without selling your soul.
I would. Less work and more pay? Sign me up.
Lower profile doesn't correlate to lesser work. It just means shitty work.
Rephrase the question then. I interpreted it as a lower level with higher pay.
Career growth, desired career path and long term learning are paramount
Never. You'll start hating it in two months. If you still need a job, you aren't rich enough to not care about the quality of the work.
I don't care about visibility, but I do care deeply about whether I am doing interesting work that keeps me engaged and learning. I would be willing to accept lower TC for a role that will put me in a position to do exciting projects and facilitate a ton of personal learning and growth.

I just took that path. Moved to a role which is more exciting and gives me the opportunity to build something from ground up with some extremely smart folks.TC will follow hopefully if I deliver.
I am not sure if that aligns with the question I posted. Or maybe I didn't understand your response. My question is aimed to understand if you would accept a higher TC even if that meant compromising on the role/work you do.
It does because I had the opportunity to stay in my current role and get a decent salary bump in 3 months but I could not afford to lose more time doing nothing. Sorry I shouldβve been more explicit on this part.
I did, temp tc setback. 3 years later I have a different role doing much more fun work, with double the pay.
My question is actually the other way around. Whether you would accept a higher TC while compromising on your role/work. But I think I got my answer from your response :)
Ah yes. Why not get paid more for less responsibility.
Solution: become a better ML engineer
That takes time. Would you rather wait it out or accept something on the table? People say, a bird in hand is better than two in bush
Never underestimate how shitty a shitty job can be.
Depends on the bump, for 25%+ I'd strongly consider it
Depends 25% of what haha

Tipping culture is really getting out of control! Waiter gave me βa lookβ because I tipped her 10% for βBAD service!β
Did that mistake once. Not going to repeat that again
Can you explain?
current TC β future earnings testing is being automated faster than distributed/ML, and hence does not have as much sustainable growth
