As a lead/senior, money was a factor, especially because I was being underpaid compared to the rest of the industry for my experience. But I was working in a field for a company doing things that I wouldn’t find in most roles. I turned down a significantly higher paying role once because I wasn’t very interested in the work that I’d be doing.

I hate my current job. I'm looking for new jobs internally and externally. I don't find any of them interesting. The closest thing I found to something that might have been interesting was a senior Android dev at a medical start up (with a 50% increase!), but I wasn't qualified (I have a couple basic apps, but no 'real' experience) .

I guess I feel like all the other jobs will be just as bad, so why leave this one.

I don't think every job has to be so terrible. There's definitely places out there that value transparency and offer opportunities for growth. Especially in this market.

Where I work now, I'm actively hiring for a Senior Android dev role. We're very open to candidates who demonstrate potential for all our engineering positions. Building a couple small apps definitely counts in that regard. If you're interested in hearing more feel free to reach out! My work email is in my profile.
