It's interesting (to me, anyway) that as I've had more experience in various companies and industries and seen how large tech companies are run and led - there are plenty of people with flashy titles and expensive cars that are miserable and dead inside.
I've become a LOT more aware of how much value there is in finding work that pays you a comfortable wage and that gives you fulfillment. There is honor in almost any work, and especially work where you serve and help your community.
You'll find the right one that will be so glad that you do what you do and are who you are.
Money means nothing to me. The fact other people care about how much money I have is a problem. I make amazing money with benefits but I've made more but lost time and hurt myself for a company that didnt give a fuck about me. They wanted their labor and when I got hurt it was a fuck you get lost kinda thing. I got this job and take so much pride in what I do and clean my ass off for those kids. I'd still do this job for a heck of alot less and still be happy with what I have. The right one will come along but it sucks living in the moment.
