How to become a high earner?

I'm a high earner - almost by accident and I mean that with complete modesty. I'm nothing special in terms of education or intellect. One thing that some overlook is the ability to speak and engage with people. So many interviews I did barely touched on my experience or tested my skills, most were just conversation and asking about me/background/general questions. The interviews that went the best were where me and the interviews just clicked. We laughed and it was relaxed and easy. I've interviewed others and the biggest thing I look for is "can I work with this person" and similarly "would I trust them to deal with something"? No one wants to work with an annoying idiot basically. We all have at one point! .. I also hear others say that more pay comes with moving to different companies. You then get bumped up each time. I've never done this but know there is some truth to it. Also be bold, brazen and confident with applications. I've tried helping some people with job hunting and what drives me absolutely mental is when they say "oh, the job description says you need ABC which I don't have" Firstly - half the job descriptions are wishlists and interviewers rarely know what's even on there. They're often written by HR or old/template ones. The real job day-to-day often is totally different to it. So just apply and apply. The worst case is you'll get an email saying you're not suitable. The next worse is you get some interview experience and the best is you step up to a new higher level. Also my motto is (and I've said this in an interview is): the best candidate is someone that meets about half of your requirements. The worst Candidate is someone who meets them all. Why? Because the person who knows only half will be challenged, developed, motivated and excited to learn all these new things and really grow. The other who knows them all will probably think after 3-6 months, ugh this is so mundane and boring.
