No, it's not. Here, I'll repeat the context for you:

> > Arguably a competent person wouldn't have persisted in a role where it was obvious they were not able to make a meaningful difference.

> You'd be insane to leave a job with such few responsibilities and such insane compensation. Set for life.

Pay special attention to the phrasing "a role". We are not talking about specifically this role.



> You'd be insane to leave a job with such few responsibilities and such insane compensation. Set for life.

Again: you would not be insane to do so if staying in the job has substantial non-compensation consequences. Like jail.
