Been an employee in the space for a little while, used to get paid in Ethereum and as a rule of thumb, I would always sell everything straight away in order not to be tempted to hodl.
I do the same. You just got lower earning when you do not sell right away because price drop and takes long to recover. I get paid with bitcoin also in this forum which is good but for real job, many do not want to accept it because the price is volatile, they better receive fixed payment.
