Everybody expects a paycheck. As a nuclear physicist, I could be making three times my salary now, but the work I do is important, and more interesting than academia. So no...I don’t expect more in return. My work is pretty specialized...so to “start looking for work elsewhere” is a non-starter. I’d rather stay where I’m valued, which you won’t get in the corporate world.
“When your paycheck stops you will move on”. I’ve got news for you, when my paycheck stops (unless it’s retirement), everyone’s paycheck in the US stops, because half the globe will become a total wasteland and everyone will be in survival mode. I’m honetstly not too worried about my paychack at that point.
Your check won’t stop.
It will be reduced.
