I dropped out of college to do carpentry when I learned how little game devs make. I don’t really know what you’re talking about.
Well, outside of game dev, tech workers were making shit loads of money.
Game devs been fucked up for years now, but the original comment just said "tech workers"
Even if you filter out game devs, you seem to think "tech worker" means "silicon valley startup or FAANG", but the field is much larger than that and the compensation and treatment has never been uniform across the sector.
Ah my bad. We are talking about different things then.
I know tons of network engineers and sysadmins making bank mostly from home. If you got in when it was good you were set.
