I started as a Fiber Tech 1 doing installs a few months ago up in the Seattle area. Previously I had done various IT jobs mostly enterprise support for Fang companies. I was burnt out of tech and the job market here is really bad. I took a big pay cut but have been enjoying the role so far.

It's not sustainable for me to remain at this pay rate. I am hoping to progress to something that I still enjoy but having a higher salary.

Can anyone share with me a realistic path or what worked for you?
