Are there actual jobs in Rust? This is not snark, btw. I love Rust and I am currently learning it. Genuinely curious, since I have not seen a lot of listings for it, if any.

Not a direct answer, but I do get a decent amount of contracting work for Rust. Mostly for 2-3 year old projects where the original Rust developer has moved on and they need a small fix or feature change.
Do you have any leads you'd be comfortable with sharing?
I mostly work with local clients born out of my networking.
Plenty in crypto. A few others.

Not enough to pay well enough, it reminds me of node.js in the early days.

I'm active in the community, do rust events but I can't find something that pays more than js consulting with untouchable companies.

I guess at some point I'll have to decide between money and my soul

My current and previous jobs have been in Rust. They're definitely out there.
