You are welcome, to give you a bit more detail that fits closely to your experience is that I was in a situation where I didn't want to move and now I'm working for a great company and do it all remotely. I enjoy the company but even as a senior developer I'm not on the cool exciting new projects I'm down in the legacy code fixing stuff. Ultimately you are going to end up working on what makes the company the $$. Outside of work I code the stuff I don't get a chance to do at work, get a cool idea and work on it in github/bit bucket etc. Once you've had the 6months plus at the company combined with some project work on a passionate personal project you'll find the programming world will offer you more opportunities than you thought possible! Chin up! :)
