That's how the world works breh.

I did way more work when I was working for $10-15/hr taking tech support calls than I do as a Sys Engineer (where I mostly just chill unless something goes down).

How much you make now?

If you're making that doing helpdesk stuff then you either got a good gig or you live somewhere mad expensive like NY/LA/etc.

My manager doesn't even make 80k.

Honestly Indeed is one of the best places if you're using the right search terms.

Other than that, Dice.com is decent. If you're in college (or used to be) then check you college's job board if they have one. Sometimes college alumni will post openings on their old college's job board before they post them anywhere else.
