doing the math in US measurements my previous company was paying me about 10 USD hour or roughly 19k USD yearly to do embedded C development for a financial institution and if i can get any remote job that won't immediately overstress and burn me out for that much i'm happy
i've been told i deserve at least 75k USD year for doing development work much simpler than i was already doing and honestly i just want half that and it would be enough to live off it and i can't even find that. i just want the scraps of the tech sphere please
