I’m not sure what qualifying language you took offense at, and I wasn’t intending to be condescending.
I admitted that my experience was indeed anecdotal, but I stand by my statements. If you’re good at what you do in tech, you have a few years of experience, and you’re willing to take take positions that differ from your comfort zone you should never be without well paying work.
I’m always in the market as you put it, even though I’m not looking to leave my current position any time soon. I did 2 interviews in the last 7 days, and I turn down offers probably once a month.
I know this isn’t how it works for everyone in tech, but once you get your career grooved it isn’t unrealistic.
I hear you, it’s always tough out there, keep at it you got this.
The reason I take multiple interviews a week even when I’m not looking change positions is because it takes that level of legwork to maintain my career.
I don’t want to sound like I’m down playing how difficult it is to succeed in our industry. It takes a bunch of work, and networking, but getting ahead if you have talent is 100% doable.
