If I had made $better_life_decisions when I was younger and/or graduated in the era of $BigTech instead of the mid 90s, I could definitely have lived frugally, made $BigTech money, saved and invested in stocks, moved to a low cost of living area and done contracts every now and then just to refill the coffers.
As it is now, why wouldn’t I enjoy my job? I get to work remotely in a relatively low cost of living area making $BigTech money.
Will I be where I am for the rest of my life? Statistically, probably not. I can’t see that far ahead for a change. But 3 of the 5 biggest technology companies offer similar roles and if the local economy ever recovers there will be local companies.
