Ask HN: Are you thinking about Quitting?

I've wanted to move since day 1 (~2 years ago), but haven't felt compelled to. Job search hasn't been. There simply don't seem to be many developer jobs in my country.

As for why, the three main reasons are the commute, the punitive atmosphere created by management and the outdated tech practices. For an example of that last one, I got a lot of praise for generating a root keypair and using that to sign certs for our internal services. Apparently they had been trying to do something like this for upwards of a year but couldn't figure it out.

For my current job? They don't allow us to. For a company in a different country? I'm exploring this as an option these days. I don't feel great about my chances of getting a job at a serious company because the quality of my years of experience is really low (who wants to hear me talk about all the ASP.NET Web Forms apps I work on right now?). I think my best shot are "nearshore" contracting shops, so I'm trying to apply to those when I find them.
