No. Because tech blogs and forums like HN/Blind constantly make me feel I'm getting underpaid.

If you are underpaid, then you should be able to easily find a company that pays you more, no?

Good stuff. Even though a lot of people just don't want to talk to anyone when they're depressed, it doesn't hurt to remind them that there are always people willing to listen.

There's no "easy" to the tech interview process

I’m doing ok-ish. I’m waiting to start a new job but I’m afraid maybe some of my past mistakes might have an impact on the ultimate decision. I’m in a really tight financial bind (on top of it all, the only family car broke down yesterday). This new job would be life-changing in terms of financial security and my future career. Taking a cue from this site, I think I will take action by reaching out tomorrow to the recruiter I’m working with.

All we can do is keep our chins up and try to keep moving forward!
