    I’m always willing to take positions different from my comfort zone but it feels like no one wants to hire me unless I have experience with all their tech stack and languages or am willing to take a pay cut. But I can’t in this environment, I have loans and a family and expensive rent and groceries to pay for. It’s kind of annoying because I actually would like to change it up lol.

      I hear you, it’s always tough out there, keep at it you got this.

      The reason I take multiple interviews a week even when I’m not looking change positions is because that’s takes that level of legwork to maintain my career.

      I don’t want to sound like I’m down playing how difficult it is to succeed in our industry. It takes a bunch of work, and networking, but getting ahead if you have talent is 100% doable.
