True, although both of those are hard roads in a way. Finding one of the small number of tech or tech-adjacent jobs at non-tech companies can be like looking for a needle in a haystack, since you have to comb through so many companies looking for something they don't foreground. And turning a non-dev job into a tech job is even harder since you have to first get (and probably do a decent job at) the non-dev job. It may be that this is inevitable. In fact it may be why these jobs have the advantages they do, because they're hard enough to get to that they're ignored by the people rushing for the "10x ultra high performing engineer" jobs.
