I'm NOT a developer. I'm actually in tech support. I can write scripts, identify bugs in code, and am up to date on cloud and k8s, but mostly I don't write code, I debug systems, write up bug tickets, and deal with customer issues. Even with these less impressive skills I was able to land 3 offers above 150k base comp for TECHNICAL SUPPORT in the past month. It's still a seller's market for skilled people in tech. Yes you need to pump out as many applications a day as you can -- the vast majority will never get back to you, will ghost, or will freeze midway through the pipeline. But there are still plenty of offers going around and only so many people who can credibly do the work.
