I've come to understand it like this... the "Tech industry" is exactly that... industry.

A lot of us want be tech workers. That's the same as saying you want to be an actor or musician. Record/movie companies are not looking to just hire any actors/musicians.

I think independent is the way to go. Smaller, tight knit clusters of developers working together. This way we can combat this whole begging/ hunting for employment. Like indie movies/records

I think I'm picking up what you're putting down. My only pushback is finding collaborators to buy in with a dollar, instead of 50 cents. As I read these posts on GlassDoor, and seeing headlines from around the nation and around the world, I'm having a hard time seeing anyone co-signing with you due to greed and short-sightedness.
Everyone who knows how it works and knows that it works is set. The ones that need to see and feel it, simply don't believe it. They don't even know what you're talking about... Watch the responses 👀

You may want to read the book “Developer Hegemony: The Future of Labor” as it goes into depth on the idea of law firm partner-style developer arrangements. It is a bit cynical though in the introductory chapters.

I had an interview yesterday for an AM position for a start up. The salary is 30k more than what I’m making now and it seems like the culture is much better than my current company. I prepped for days… I bombed it. The interviewer repeated two questions because I wasn’t answering them in a way they wanted. Can I just say that was a humbling experience🙃

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?
