Yup, am mid-40s and already tech employment is a crapshoot in a lot of ways. Not that the jobs are worth working at other than the pay being good. The expectations have gone through the roof.

"Oh, we pay you an inflation-adjusted equivalent of 1980s $50K a year so you should be absolutely devoted to us."

Yeah, whatever.

In 1985, making $50k would make you one of the highest paid engineers in the country. Now it's a much more common pay range. Is your issue that pay hasn't outpaced inflation at a high enough rate?
