A lot of tech people, particularly more junior folks, are looking for jobs right now. A short but important note for them: newcomers should generally ignore career advice from people who've been in the field longer than 10 or 15 years.
The way the industry treats us is so dramatically different from the way it treats newcomers that most advice is just flat out wrong.

I honestly think I needed this shake up a little bit in my life. Thanks!

@jacob speaking for myself I feel like I have a long view of the industry where I can understand the sorts of cycles that it goes through, and can make broadly accurate long-term predictive statements. but understanding what *part* of the cycle we are in right now, how it differs from the previous iterations, when the next turn of the wheel is likely to happen (etc) does make that long-term understanding pretty worthless to anyone trying to decide what they should do *now*
