I don't know how to express it correctly. But yes, sort of. I didn't work in high-load-kafka-like companies, so I'm kind of stuck in my mid level company types that do relatively simple things.

99.9% of software devs are likely in the same position as you.

Good (but not exceptional) salary working with old/stable technologies that solve established business problems in a digital way.

Working in high-load-kafka-like companies with salaries usually reserved for upper management of "boring" workplaces are the 0.1%.
