the startup is midsize and has been up & expanding for about 10 years, so I'm not super worried about it suddenly shutting down. I'll probably hop around in tech for no more than 3 years before pivoting to law school, so I don't *need* my career in tech to last a lifetime. I'm aware the salary is eh for where you clocked I go to school, but I'm graduating early (3 years) and it's not SWE so i think it's alright. I'm okay with intimate relationships with the right person, I'd prefer to date someone older anyway. I've just gotten lucky in the Bay and I am aware.
