At some point I realized I'm quite bad at engineering skills as well as politics skills required to be promoted at big companies, resulting in significant slower promotions than most people in the company.
After some years, I realized I'm better at the game of pretending to care, and put less effort and hours while still being paid 100% of compensation. Even more so thanks to remote work with covid. Now I find gratification in projects outside of work with this time.
Note that both strategies (getting promoted vs just working less time) increase your pay/hour, so just do whatever you're best at.
