mdocherty··on Ask HN: Getting depressed about money. How do I make a meaningful amount “fast”?
To me your goal should be a better payed role. I assume with your VHCOL that there are better jobs available. I would work on landing something better at big tech (FANG ideally).

Once you're there you can focus on your side projects or building your own SAAS etc.

mdocherty··on Ask HN: How to find contract work in Bay Area?
You will find the very high contract rates where the demand for talent is very high and the supply is low. Unfortunately it would appear the demand for IOS isn't too high or the supply is too high.

I would suggest re-skilling to something more in demand or searching for work where there is lot's of IOS jobs posted but no senior level talent.
