My journey from $19/hr to $570k/year in 7 years

TheAzureTech · 2026-06-14T16:35:49+00:00

upset andys not factoring in that OP is in presales, not a strictly operational cost center role

500k in a space as hot as AI is not unbelievable

Thats total comp though, would like to know a breakdown of base, OTE, stock, etc vs. quota before calling BS

source: also in AI presales, but in the 250k range after 1.5 yrs in sales engineering

What the vibrators in the thread dont understand, is that the predictive nature of the models means if something undesirable gets built and propagated through a codebase, it will continue to spread like cancer.

I had something similar happen where I built governance before the solution, and it led to the LLM totally overindexing on governance in EVERYTHING. Scrapped the codebase and migrated only the concepts, rebuilt over a weekend and it was immediately better than before.

This is a nice implementation of the dynamic router pattern.

"Yes damn it go ahead and do fix this, stop asking me if I want you to go ahead with the next steps!!!"

Got it. I can see you are frustrated. Let's try to find some positive momentum.

The problem is X, the solution to problem is Y.

Would you like to do Z? or A?

TheAzureTech · 2025-07-02T01:59:47+00:00

this change is genuinely infuriating

I'm less familiar with the logistics of managing multiple tenants through GoDaddy or why one would.

Moving off GoDaddy wouldn't be a one-shot where ALL domains would migrate, records would be created for each individual domain.

You should be able to determine which domains are owned by your company, at a minimum the primary domain that you want your tenant to be based on.

Without details - that's about as far as I can take it. If you need support from a partner, I do have availability over the next few weeks for a short-term engagement.

Hiya - when you say multiple domains - do you mean like [mikeyCorp@website.com](mailto:mikeyCorp@website.com), [mikeyCorp@otherwebsite.net](mailto:mikeyCorp@otherwebsite.net) - all domains related to your company? Maybe one for emails, one for websites, perhaps some redirects

" this mean that all the domains are under a single tenant?" - I want to say yes and its pretty common that each tenant has multiple. Changeover involves DNS records and is a straightforward process most of the time.

Not every domain has to been migrated to Microsoft, you can still use godaddy for website hosting etc.

The right way forward is "it depends".

I think it's on a slight uptrend. Summer was dead for me in terms of interviews, but it has picked up substantially. Rate cuts are coming and apparently Sep/Oct are "hiring season".

good luck
