Success should expand your options without shrinking your character.

Getting somewhere should give you more room to be yourself, not less. When success starts requiring you to be someone you would not have respected before, something has gone wrong with the terms, whatever the numbers say. The options were supposed to be the point.

Check whether your recent gains have made you more free or more captured. Ask whether there are things you can no longer say or people you can no longer be honest with. Those are the real costs, and they rarely show up in the accounting.
