And thats the other problem, my current job will eventually kill me, and to reach those levels of pay requires a level of stress that I see breaking people. That starting salary is nothing to bawk at, an incredible step for most, but that would be ~30% paycut given my circumstamces.
Im banking on someday being the guy that responds on reddit when you have an issue, "oh yea, just run sudo zap -wtf ${: | grep %". When I eventually master this arcane art, ill apply for a paygrade that keeps my lights on.
I’m so surprised that more companies aren’t offering full-time positions as 20-30 hours a week and a corresponding drop in salary. “My current job will eventually kill me” is on the minds of some of the best people out there and I see many subconsciously (and consciously) avoiding positions that have a risk of that.
