Tried to leave but can’t.

Am I the only one that has noticed a drastic decrease in the salary for remote jobs? I had dreams of getting out of the overemployed life and landing one job paying me about 75% of the two combined incomes.

J1=135 J2=150.

My number to leave the game was 210k.

I was gonna be cool with that haircut, but that has not been the case for the last two years. Additionally, this has nothing to do with lifestyle creep because I can afford my life on one of the Js but now just a matter of dignity.

I think because of the job landscape I will be over employed for the foreseeable future until I get my number to get out the game. It’s actually funny because even though I tried so hard to land a major offer paying me 80%. I’ve just been grabbing similar offers and picking up additional jobs now 3 to 4 jobs that are given time when my goal was always to get 1 big one.
