Ways to earn more money where I come from but probably applicable to SV. Some ideas:
1. Get a job where people report to you
2. Get a job with company with bigger budgets e.g. Google
3. Get a job where you are closer to the money making e.g. sales, finance industry jobs
4. Do something else where you control the flow of money rather than just get a paycheck. I am thinking real estate development or renovations, for example.
5. Live somewhere where the cost of living is cheaper but earn the same money. You could get a remote job in SV then go move away. I don't know US that well but isn't Oakland cheaper? Or if you are remote working just go live in some dead town somewhere.
6. Get a job contracting using some arcane skill that no-one wants to work with so it pays more. E.g. Microsoft SharePoint.
7. Become a business analyst / project manager etc.
8. Become a corporate C*O.
9. Get a 9-5 tech job (literally) and then get a second job.
10. Get a 9-5 tech job (literally) and do a side project money making.
- epicureanideal 11y agoGetting a second job seems to be hard. Despite all companies complaining about lack of tech talent, I've approached several about working 6-12 plus weekends (or other arrangements) but have had no interest despite being well regarded in my area of tech.
