What I did: Post on HN who wants to be hired, work at a small startup for a while, be a driving force between positive change.
My first job was 50k/year and I lost money just by getting to work (gas, fees, parking, etc). Told my boss and in 6 months I got a >50% raise to 80k/year + stocks + parking space.
Next job was 120k + stocks + remote for a company in the valley.
Each job hop will net you a pay increase similar to this. It'll also give you new perspective on software engineering.
