The problem is more than money. I would love to be a teacher, but the pay is not great and your time isn't respected.

Every new job I get oh, I try to find a completely different tech stack. This front loads a lot of learning on the job.

A random article on hacker news completely changed how I job search. This has led to several jobs I don't think I would have found otherwise. The article was not about job search, it was a post reviewing a tech talk about technology th
