Humans crave the luxury of choice. And typically, – The higher your success or performance is, the better your choices are.
Consider job hunting early in your career. As the “chaser”, you’d be fine with lesser demands, and more compromises in the job offer.
BUT
But as you progress in your career and then look to switch jobs, you’re not that desperate chaser anymore. You look for a respectable mutual fit with higher demands.
This allows you to compare multiple offers and choose the best one that drives and feels natural to you. So much more effortless. But it takes time and growth to get there.
Being able to choose aids in your effortless peak performance which in turn brings more opportunities and choices your way. It’s a cycle.
