Cypher··on Ask HN: How's your job search going in this current economy?
I'm going through a terrible time, I'm a dev. And last 3-4 months I found the salary has decreased on all openings by a good 20-30%.

I've been at the same company for 15 years. Last year we got a new line manager and he is a bully and makes a lot of our lives miserable, recently he started targeting me. I thought it'd be fine because I can move on with my experience but because of the market I feel trapped and I've now got depression from the stress and being unable to sleep. I take pride in my work and put in more hours than the team but there is no pleasing him and upper management don't care because they love his reports.

Cypher··on Ask HN: How do I start over at 37?
