- giantg2 6y agoI'm just worthless
- munk-a 6y agoYou are not. You're just poorly compensated and that doesn't say a damn about your personal worth.
- giantg2 6y agoEh, everything in life is about money, so I think it does.
- munk-a 6y agoWell, honestly, if that's your opinion then change your circumstances - work on your resume and get a job with higher compensation, they certainly exist and the requirements for them and expectations on them are far lower than you think... And, most importantly, the price for failure is negligible. If you're a wiz with databases in your current position and are considering moving to a fancy silicon valley job with high compensation the worst that can happen is you'll fail your probationary period and still make a fair amount of money.
- giantg2 6y agoThere really aren't many FileNet or Neoxam options out there. My wife refuses to relocate, so I'm stuck where I am.
- munk-a 6y agoOh but right now we've got a pandemic on - assuming everybody is onboard with the risk of changing jobs a lot of folks are hiring remote employees.
- giantg2 6y agoI still don't see many. There's a contract Filenet job with a contract rate of $60/hr. I don't think it's worth it to trade a fulltime job for that. Not to mention, I'm starting to work with AWS now (sort of, they switch me all the time) so that would be the better longterm option.

- leesalminen 6y agoI find that to be highly unlikely seeing that you’ve been a part of the HN community for under 2 years and have nearly the same karma as me after 7. You clearly have something interesting to say! My email is in my profile. Hit me up to chat if you’d like :). Maybe I can help you somehow.
- lnenad 6y agoThat's very kind of you.
- benibela 6y agoAs open-source developer, I make $0/hr :/
