If there is a place that is hiring and cares about Software Quality, I'll take a 70% paycut to work there.

You would have liked the last place I worked before retirement. Full-on software test team and everything. Private offices, too. Don't get me wrong, there were warts (oh, were there warts), but overall it was a good time. It wasn't a 70% pay cut, but the cut was considerable in comparison to what I was accustomed to. I didn't care, I was nearing retirement, and my "I'd take a pay cut if..." was the aforementioned private office.
But the company got sold to a conglomerate before I left, so I can't guarantee that culture is still there.
Why are people so reticent to name companies, even when they're praising them?
It can be seen as dark advertising. Because it is.
I've just accepted the fact that every tech company is just a dumpster fire.
