...which is absolutely a stereotype born of the Silicon Valley bubble, and not actually true in practice.

The vast majority of developers do not work in Silicon Valley, nor for FAANGs (or whatever the abbreviation is nowadays), and do not make several hundred thousand a year or have highly valuable tech stock options.

So you’re a developer making bad money?

I'm a developer making a decent but not extravagant living in a low-cost-of-living area, who's sick of the assumption that every developer is somehow rolling in disposable income.

I know recruiters that can get you a remote job making more than what you make now, guaranteed. And then I will get a $5k finders fee bonus.

I...might actually be interested in that. Less for the money (though that's always an enticement) than for the full remote, which I've been planning to push for in the very near future.
