The fact that I just realized this from this thread makes me feel ashamed. I’m 28 ! I should know an ad when I see one. However I work in social work. Completely different from tech since it’s literally working with people and based on the mental health crisis coming in through the door. I’m happy to know everyone’s work days aren’t as glamorous as this in reality because I went through a time where I was feeling a little depressed that I make 70k a year helping ppl get through their worst days and this 22 yr old is making 6 figures drinking chai tea all day. Granted she still probably makes way more than me but….you get my point…..

Hey, as a tech worker I totally agree with you. I love my salary and I certainly don’t wanna lose it, but I’m not gonna pretend my life is hard, or that what I do is super important. It’s ridiculous to me how people like you get so little in comparison, despite the immense compassion and care it takes to do it. I feel similarly about teachers and many other healthcare professions. Thank you for doing what you do, your work is a key building block to a healthy and functioning society.
