The skill to distinguish on whether the extra work will help you get paid more in the future is essential. Developing this skill makes it a bet instead of just working more.

it seems clear to me that one can slack off at certain times, and work hard at the important times, and overall come out about the same (or with less overall work). IMO as a developer in a large corp, if you know the right team to talk to, it can save you MONTHS of work yourself

Only if you add the hours for free and dont punch out when you should.

This is what pretty much every “lifehack” type of tip boils down to, btw lol

For the benefit of humanity.
