I would be careful with such statements. Some years ago I figured it would be a good idea to specialize in converting Angular 1.x applications to Angular 2+ - considering the former was supposed to be sunset eventually and nobody wanted to touch this with a ten foot pole this sounded like a good plan. Bottom line is: garbage projects attract garbage management practices. Projects I worked on in no particular order: I: 1. I fix some longstanding bugs. 2. Client is happy and wants more. 3. Client gets back to us with new stuff and imposes a non-negotiable deadline because the marketing campaign already went. II. Contract in Switzerland. Financially very good, but the company that sent me there didn't manage to figure out our accommodation, among other things. I lost 5kg due to malnutrition because I had to figure out my housing situation by myself. Also COVID put a wrench in those plans. III. Random offer that matched my experience. Wasn't too bad until I found that the client company sees us as first and foremost "a cost" and won't bother to keep us updated on important decisions. One key information regarding our deadlines was obtained by our tech lead by accident because he was called to an unrelated meeting.
