Pretty much, just another thing that got added to my gigantic pile of "reasons to be extraordinarily depressed in perpetuity" over the last like decade now...
Life is different for everyone, but for me it's really amazing how it just only gets worse year after year.
Dang I'm sorry to hear that. I feel like I caught the last good wave. I learned to code when the bootcamps we're booming and cheap and you could get a tech job anywhere easy. Worked my way up to senior engineer and got really good in time to avoid all the layoffs. Took my permanent remote silicone valley salary and moved to a small town and bought my first house on acres of forest right as lockdown hit full swing. Got locked into that sub 3%, got married and have a kid, wife doesn't have to work, and my salary is very comfortable in this town which is nestled into stunning natural beauty, where the redwoods meet the California coast. It's paradise.
Maybe there's abother boat coming.
