Yes, and the next time a 50-hour task comes up, they'll expect you to do it by tomorrow.

The problem with faking your way into being a 10x rockstar is that expectations grow faster than compensation. The other problem is that if you can't sustain the pace, you're going to burn out and your life will be utter crap.

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to catapult into doing training and speaking stuff, and "leadership" roles that have you writing blog posts and attending meetings all day while taking credit for what your team is doing, after faking your way to a "10x" reputation.

Either I, too, faked my way into being a 10x rockstar, or expectations always grow faster than compensation.

> expectations always grow faster than compensation

They always do, especially if you never switch jobs, but there's no need to unsustainably accelerate this process.

Do good work, don't burn out, get paid. Keep things simple.
