Developer job market is insane now. Why can't they just switch to one of the cushy jobs at an insurance company or something?

  You wouldn't ask a teacher or nurse to change careers because their employer or government is treating them poorly. You'd tell the employer to stop treating people like garbage. I know this is mostly about developers but not everyone is able to just make a job change like you're suggesting. We should be giving people the things they need to be happy and successful in their current jobs.

    > You wouldn't ask a teacher or nurse to change careers because their employer or government is treating them poorly. yes i am only talking about software developers. > not everyone is able to just make a job change like you're suggesting. why though? Those cushy jobs are dime a dozen everywhere. I don't see why someone is forced to work for a gaming company at low pay.

    It's an employer change, not a career change. And you should definitely leave a bad employer if you are a teacher or a nurse.
