I see the argument here constantly "But ur skills!". OK. Well back to work actually shipping software using this new tool that is never going away. My client doesn't really care about my skills, just my speed and they have money for me.
> @dawn-drain — Research Engineer at Anthropic My main project for my first three years at Anthropic, beginning in 2021, was to try and make a model that was as good at coding as possible— at least as good as me.
That is a very expensive vehicle for a job with an average annual salary of $51k
Apparently if you wanna send automated texts in America, you need a real phone number. And to not get immediately blocked, you need to fill out a form that goes to the major carriers for approval (like AT&T). And the form is not unlike Paddle's verification. You need a company, EIN, samples of what your texts will look like. Massive pain.
"Just hold out until they are desperate enough that they HAVE to give you a large raise!" is laughable.
Every single day you don't quit and get paid what you are worth, is a day you are leaving money on the table. Imagine waiting years for that big raise when you could have left and made tens to hundreds of thousands more in that time.
