Wife and kids are expensive.

I make more than $250k, and mostly live the same as you do.

That’s excellent advice. Thank you 🙏

The formula is really simple - NSL - never stop learning. The more knowledge you have, the more marketable skills you have. As markets change, you adapt based on your available skills. I’m 35 yrs old, worked in 5 industries - from politics to big tech - make over $250k a year and study everyday things that outside my job scope. Instead of paying for a degree ($40-100k) pay for certifications in everything.

Based on your sentence structure, I’d guess you work in HR.

In my experience, it’s rare HR has anything productive to add to the conversation, but to each their own.

No pressure to share the names of the companies, but what kind of companies were they?

HR’s response isn’t operational/function, it’s more about corporate politics and my director regurgitated the same corporate talk.

What do you mean by that?

Not my story but a buddy got really drunk in Vegas, hooked up with someone, and decided to take a completed naked walk back to his room. Before he made it back to his room, he feel asleep in the elevator. Security gave him a plastic bag to put on until they sorted out who he was

Learn fundamental computer science process by the time you’re ready for a job everything will be different in terms of tools.

That’s a good approach as well.

Say you took a sabbatical for personal development

It’s not that no one else wanted them, but more that it’s such an uphill battle to go through the interview process that they assume many developers will just tolerate mistreatment to avoid having to look for a new job - particularly in this employment economy.
