What does the resignation note Jane hands to Pat mean in the end? [Spoilers]

In the end scene Elizabeth confesses to the hearing about her covert plan and the room is in a commotion over the surveillance footage leaked onto the internet. Jane gets up and hands Pat her resignation letter. On one side of the note it's written: "A conviction lobbyist can't only believe in her ability to win" and on the other side: "For services rendered Peterson Wyatt offers you $0" What did she mean by both these statements?

That note is the same note that Schmidt gave Sloane when he was trying to recruit her to Peterson Wyatt (when they originally met).

Earlier, we only saw the part that said "A conviction lobbyist can't only believe in her ability to win".

In the end we see the opposite side in the same handwriting, suggesting that Sloane was not offered any restitution for her services at Peterson Wyatt. She did it for herself.

Ahh...I just checked out those earlier scenes and you're correct. That's so brilliant, now I get it, thank you so very much! ;-) [spoiler]So after Schmidt gives Sloane the note she folds it away and later calls to arrange a meeting with Jane. This is just prior to Sloane jumping ship. And it's Jane who's seen last with that note implying that they were actually connected and still working together all this time.[/spoiler]

elizabeth did the whole thing not for money but to fight for what she believed in

I rolled my eyes at the "twist" ending. So cringy.
