This is why yesterday, after completing double the minimum expected work, I "worked from home" for the last two hours. Meanwhile, there's a senior on the team who did a quarter of the work I did last quarter. And he gets paid more!

That's on you. Don't every let them know exactly how efficient you are. They'll look to maximize what you initially offer, meaning they'll load up more on you. Why not? You do more for the same amount of dinero. It's probably too late for you at that job but now you know for the next one - always work at 80% capacity max.

Always work at 80% of your max sustainable capacity. It's a subtile difference, but one that will fuck you over. Just because you can run at a 500% burst, doesn't mean you can sustain 400% for long.

80% is my burst capacity unless you're gonna pay more than 4x my cost of living. 60% is my normal pace these days

Exactly. My policy is following: I will put out my maximum, work unreasonable shifts, pull as much as possible only if the bossman is right there beside me. Of course, my experience is outside huge corporate environments and more in SME, but I will not give a single extra fuck if I can help it. Once you do, it becomes expected of you all the time. Fuck that.
