Come on, you know better then this. Where did I say this for for everyone? Where did I say people should accept lower paying jobs?
I never said
you should look for lower paying jobs. For some people, yes, less pay but more rewarding is better, but not for everyone, or even for most people.
I very clearly said "non-linear" not "economically non-monotonic."
Personally, I thought the more relevant points were:

As a result, some employees will ask to step back to a more "hands on" position....For example, if you miss the technical work or find out that spending your day managing people is not your forte, say that to management. Then move on to explaining what you are good at and would like to do.

An often-seen lateral move is that of a small company middle- or upper-level manager moving to a lower-level position at a larger company.
