5 years working 60+ hour weeks to help keep a 20+ year-old system afloat, dealing with PHP and peoples' tendency to code in production and a total lack of desire to include test cases or anything resembling design patterns, and a boss that consistently paid me significantly under the market average (which I begrudgingly accepted, suffering from imposter syndrome and believing I had no worth), had led me to job hunt. Well, specifically, getting a raise this year that didn't cover cost-of-living spikes is what led me to job hunt. I spent exactly one day applying for jobs. Cleaned up my CV, logged into Indeed, and shotgunned out 60 applications (just send resume, answer basic questions, move on) in a couple hours. If I had been forced to spend another day applying to jobs, I would've automated this process with some cURL scripts and a small captcha solving package. I wasn't too choosy - if the listed salary band was reasonable, the roles and requirements vaguely matched something I had experience in, and I felt confident I could adapt to their company, I applied. Of those 60 applications, got 11 calls back. Of those 11 calls, 7 led to interviews. Of those 7 interviews, 3 terminated in the personality/workstyle interviews (2 on my end, 1 on their end), 1 terminated due to "poor technical performance", 1 has returned an offer letter, and the other two interview processes are... still ongoing! Role-wise, it's a downgrade - from managing the entire company's development team (of only 5 engineers plus 2 seniors above me, so not that much, to be fair), to the equivalent of a team-lead position. This was done because despite being in a managerial position, I've never been given the means, training, opportunities for certification, or time to actually institute a proper Agile workflow process, so I'm missing critical skills that larger companies desire! But the pay. The benefits. Hoo boy, let's enumerate: Current pay & benefits: $75k/yr, with bonuses that, as of last year, totaled to $10k 2% matching Simple IRA Half of my marketplace insurance paid for 10 days PTO, 5 holidays per year New pay & benefits: $115k/yr, with yearly profit sharing (possibly bonuses too but not assuming, and shares vest in 6 years so that's a big ole not-counting-it) 4% matching 401(k) 100% covered health, dental, vision insurance, and a billion *SA accounts (HSA, TSA, FSA, LMNOPSA) 20 days PTO (plus buy an extra week of PTO I guess), 10 holidays per year ​ Seems like a slam dunk - except I've got two other interviews to wrap up before I can accept the offer! So if you're trapped in a shitty job that's massively underpaying you, don't worry, there's hope!
