Mixed bag.

2020 was my best year ever job wise, I was making a stupid amount of money. In 2023 I took a massive pay cut, we're talking over 50k, but it's still better than nothing.

Now I'm somewhat close to my peak, fully remote. Not the most I've ever earned, but in very comfortable.

Did you take the paycut to go fully remote, or were there other circumstances leading to that change?

So many factors, but the gist is the market was really really bad last year.

Now I'm making more and I'm pretty comfortable.

I was over employed in '21 and 22. First 2 then 3 jobs. Then got laid off from all 3 before '23. Make hay while the sun shines
