My first programming job out of school was on really obsolete tech: IBM Unibasic aka Pick Basic in an ERP system. It's a career trap on par with taking a COBOL programming job right out of university: https://medium.com/@csixty4/pick-was-post-relational-before-it-was-cool-ed610c9d0f14 https://medium.com/@csixty4/pick-was-post-relational-before-... I broke out and rebooted my career by quitting and going to grad school full time and getting a Master's degree in CS from a fancier university in a tech hub city. My phone blew up with recruiters when I graduated and posted my resume online.
