I don't know about this. It seems that there is more demand for high level work than low level. But I hope you are right!

  I think OP is saying to go off and study tech and build shit, don't waste time reading hype noise BS. I agree!

    If I did I wouldn't have seen their comment and given that perspective consideration. It's almost like...a reasonable balance is the best path. lol

      Going monk mode for 3-6 months is good for a man.

  Low level pays pretty well.

    Does it? Every time I check embedded salaries I'm shocked in a bad way.

      Embedded is not the only low level work there is. Databases for example require a lot of low level knowledge, but the market big enough to pay well.

  Good knowledge of fundamentals translate well into high level work. Understanding the timeless things deeply will serve you much better than continually trying to understand what is hyped only to have to constantly move on to the next hyped thing before being able to get more thana superficial understanding.
