This skillset is literally the poster child of HN.

> Yes, I know my skillset is quite generic - heavily JS/Node/React based, with a few years of experience in Python and very light knowledge of some lower level languages (had some passing interest in Go, Rust, no commercial experience to back it up).

Don’t be discouraged, lots of successful places are using this for good reason.

It’s a perfectly valid and respectable way to make a career.

For me it's getting to the point of it feeling like a grind.

Yes, all things considered, my current pay is good. Looking around the market, it is on par with some more niche roles and around MAANG level here in London.

The closer I get to top pay possible for the skillset as an IC, the less I'm interested in yet another role doing exactly the same.
