0% Why on Earth would anyone take LESS?
Unless you're scheming there, but then you would take a lot of RISK, and you need risk premium.

Hopefully I will need 5-10% more because while I can do groceries and phone contract in sats, I need to pay bills in fiat and need that 5-10% to pay network fees

You can often get 5-10% premium when selling BTC for fiat in OTC markets, like hodlhodl.com, if you lower your time preference and act as a market maker.

If the employment contract was tied to an amount of BTC, then it is worth a large cut since it is only a matter of time until the next halving.
Imagine your employer needing to come to you to negotiate a pay cut since your BTC amount is too valuable. Turning the tables and making your time worth increasingly more is a dream for every fiat miner.
Scarcity rules!

All depends on the job. Most of the jobs I see in BTC are heavy in IT. Plus lately BTC companies are laying off people. Bitcoin magazine let go a lot of people. Voltage reduced staff. Fold as well. It’s nice to be down for the cause but you still gotta eat and pay rent.

If I could lock-in a salary in BTC that would not go down as BTC got more valuable (in USD terms), then I would take a discount. However, as I am part owner of my business, this would not be a great move since it would end up costing our company more money to keep paying me that fixed amount of BTC.
If the BTC amount fluctuates, then I don't really see the need to be paid directly in BTC at the moment because, while it would be really cool, I can essentially get paid in BTC now without anyone knowing. I just send my direct deposit to a place that automatically buys BTC for me.
I'm at the stage in my career where I have put so much time and energy into getting where I am now that it would not make sense to switch fields and go into a bitcoin-related job.

Regardless of currency, never discount your work. Companies and corporations are doing everything they can to underpay for your labor, why on earth would you willingly accept less!

10% of my BTC

I think up to 20% is reasonable
reply
You'd have more Bitcoin in the fiat job without the 20% discount and just exchange it.
20% is way higher than the spread of the exchange rate on anonymous markets

Its like paying a little more receiving p2p BTC. Sometimes less is more
