I can only speak for my own company. I recently (6 months ago) hired a junior web developer. He’s now a senior, and the highest paid engineer in the company.

If you’re a junior developer, and you want to make good money at it, you no longer have hobbies or a life (don’t worry, you get them back when you get good). Instead, all your free time is now dedicated to hobby projects & studying. Of course, only a small % of junior developers want/are capable of that lifestyle (the 10x engineers), and if you’re not one, you’ll just have to suffer making only 80k a year + benefits as a regular junior.

"irl_chad" is a very apt username here...

You could do us all a service by telling us the name of your company so we (especially junior developers) could give it a very wide berth.

Sounds like you put crypto on your resume, so don’t worry about getting accidentally hired :)
