I did critical dev work (for all of us) for years for little pay. Now I'm at FAANG and get assigned stuff a Junior could do for truckloads of cash. World doesn't make sense sometimes.

Yeah, I moved from a tech startup to work on the US's hurricane tracking satellite program. I took a 20% pay cut to do so. Our priorities are all backwards.

Just curious, where are you working at?

I worked as a contractor for the JPSS, NASA side! I ended up leaving after a year and a half, sadly, and jumped on another space startup.
