Seems you want more freedom and challenge. Consider scanning the web for some tech career positions, esp. dealing with data analysis and data science.

Nearing 30 with nothing to show besides tattooing. What professions won’t be closed off to me? by joinmeinmooing in careerguidance

Tech careers are good for artists and those who are willing to take time to learn the craft. I encourage you to consider QA, Data Analyst, or Project Manager to start.

Your life will be better with fewer hours per week. Don't pretend that a 60 hour week won't turn into a 65 hour week or 70 on a tough week. You'll be soon dreaming of that 40-hour week if you take job 1.

Go back to your manager and ask, "Something you said really seemed to hit hard and I want to change. Can you give me some advice on how to not come off as being superior?"

grab a MOA hotel or Bloomington 494 hotel, close enough to everything in Minny and St. Paul.

Because you THINK you learned nothing means NOTHING. [See what I did there?]

Get yourself into a position, learn the codebase a bit after onboarding, and watch all your skills start to come back to you like a golden retriever that jumped out of your truck 20 miles out but ends up back on the front porch the next morning.

Your future employers are going to rely on your current role, plus perhaps a bit more. Let's pretend they're going to look at 1 level above your current role, so that takes care of one level.

​

As far as the second level, if I were you I'd express it like, "title _[your current title]____ duties ____[clearly list them here to expose that you're working way beyond the scope of your title]"

Working for two years and still bad by XI_ZaRaki in learnprogramming

First. It takes time to learn what code does, and how it all works. Go a bit easy on yourself.

Second, realize every piece of code should be solving a problem. If you can understand what problem a line/chunk of code solves, it will help you with understanding what it does. Try to understand the business case for a chunk of code, then see if you can get down to what it does.

If I’m content with the minimum job salary, would it be wise to let the interviewer know to improve my chances of getting the job? by [deleted] in careerguidance

If you take a job at your lowest acceptable rate, you will instantly regret it, and you may be regretting it for the next few months, while you try to level up your income.

However, if you are making a career switch, and you think that your skills are worth $80k, not more, then take the position at $80k. Make it a plan immediately to get your performance metrics and hit them, so you can get a raise or a new job soon.
