Revisited this, and while it was tongue-in-cheek, it feels a bit ungrateful.
A lot of tech roles are intellectually stimulating and have a wage in the upper distribution of salaries. I think we have a very nice situation going for us.
Make sure you don't see the paycheck of your boss, who never wrote a single line of code, but has some bullshit MBA.
If you're always looking up but never looking down it becomes hard to appreciate things.
