> Also, switching jobs [...] externally doesn't seem to be a likely option Why is that?

• giantg2 5y ago
  My experience is in obscure tech, my wife won't relocate, and remote-only is not a great option for me when onboarding. I haven't seen many jobs that are interesting or even pay the same (most require a pay cut since I would be starting over). I applied to one recently, but I guess I don't have enough real Android experience.

    All of these are understandable considerations. Since you are paying with your life, I can only highly encourage you to reconsider your conclusions.

      That carries the assumption that my life is some high value object, yet there are 8 billion of us and I'm not more important than the next.

        True, it assumes unique value -- but only to a single person. Since to you your life is different in one crucial regard to everyone else's (it's yours) I dare say you are the prime candidate to realize it.
