      Kinda glad I work in government/heavy industry. The highs aren’t very high and the lows aren’t very low. I will never be rich but I also will never be unemployed for over a week by choice.

        And those sectors would gladly hire people from the tech sector, but yeah no one will pay you 300k for writing JavaScript

          Maybe. If I was hiring someone new under me I would tend to avoid people who worked for Alphabet. Frankly controls+automation is a not a fun field to be in. If you want to get into it you have to be willing to endure it. Can’t exactly have someone who spent their childhood riding horses on their private estate working in a slaughter house.
