OP's talking about the necessary grind, not working for free. Though that can be part of success.

20-years ago I was grinding on my computers non-stop. That got me a tech support job. Few jobs later, I'm grinding on my home lab to learn more for what I wanted to do at work. That packed my resume and I doubled my pay and benefits on the next job.

Tbf, I am sick of Gen-X getting a pass or being ignored completely. They had great opportunities just like boomers and they are also pulling up the fucking ladder.
