Bro… As someone who felt this and is happier making less… Consider state govt tech roles.
You’ll have more relevant experience than your peers, there’s no ‘cycle’ to speak of…
Not even my team, got quoted like 200K on a Drupal upgrade.
I was like “guys I have upgraded about 400 Drupal sites exactly like this it takes 3 hours max.”
Hero.
That team keeps asking me questions and my boss is protective of it. “Email him and schedule time, stop wasting my teams time.” Essentially letting me fuck off.
Yeah I make less. But I have enough time to literally take on anything. Started self hosting, exercising, building a small business…
Yeah I actually have friends who work for my city, I told them to let me know if positions open up, but the other issue is that city jobs are so good that no one leaves lol. I’m looking to switch to sys admin work because I have a background in that, I’m hoping to get my base level cert in that this year.
