In tech, if you are jumping and not getting higher TC, why bother?
For anything tech, I strongly recommend to really focus on AI now.
Large companies now would only hire AI-related stuff. Small-mid companies are in transition to AI. And even if it's something as simple as intro their operation to be optimized by AI, it can open quite some doors.
Some of the wages are insane.
My nephew got into Anthropic and gets about 1.4M USD between salary+stock. Yes, yearly. He's 23. He has made more money at 23 than what I made from 20-30 combined. Sure, he's UC Berkley grad+accepted at Stanford PhD (dropped out to go to Anthropic), but still. He said his comp is average among his peers.
My friend who was a lowly logic programmer got into AI and went from 110k to 340k.
Companies are willing to pay insane money nowadays for anything AI. If you are in the field, might as well try to ride the wave.
