90% chance you're gonna be stuck on some legacy system supporting trash ass products from goofies that think Java/C#/Swift/Rust/Kotlin/C++/React/Angular developers can somehow write quality databases.

10,000 line stored procedures, they call that "complexity". Wow you can automate deploying your entire "complex" infrastructure and it only takes 8 hours. That's crazy, how am I supposed to reasonably debug this when something inevitably goes wrong?

Whoa everyone loves being here? Why does it seem like these people who love being here so much are all leaving after a year?

Working at 2 mid tier tech companies is the way. If you ever get on at big tech, by year 2 you should be working a second job and if you get PIP'd, at least you come up off some Amazon stock and you're still :eat: off that second job. And hey you have more free time now because it really only takes 2 hours of actual focus to get your work done over there.

Medical Tech is where you get the most per hour bang for your buck. You can easily do 3 med tech jobs in under 6 hours. And when you are working multiple jobs with unlimited PTO, ABUSE THAT shyt :stylin:

This is why I'm going into technical sales or management.
