In in the same boat as you, right down to the industry. Except I’m in the US and I’m only experienced enough to be a level 2 tech.
I have a friend tracking down a hybrid position lead at his company, but the commute for the in person days would be 1.5 hrs at least one way. He’s going to be seeing what the pay is and how many days I’d need to be in the office so I know if it’d be worth it. I don’t want to waste my time and the time of his coworkers if the pay and schedule wouldn’t be right.
seems like alot of tech and biotech have commutes equally around 1.5hrs on average 1 way with public transportation. alot of them seemed to based outside of major cities.
I live outside of a large city and would be commuting into it. Wanting to live kinda rural and work in tech was not a good idea, but I’m in too deep now. -_-
Considering I’ve been doing this stuff for over a decade and have met less than a handful of people with the same technical expertise as I have, and I haven’t met anyone that’s more skilled… I’m pretty sure I should be making at least 6 figures… Nobody will pay that much for what I do.
I’m not trying to brag or anything. It’s just that I keep ending up in the position of having to educate everyone around me on how things actually work, and how to fix them. I spend more time in the bowels of Windows operating systems that the registry makes sense to me.

Damn that really sucks. I’m sorry you aren’t appreciated for your skills and have to take on the role of teacher instead of doing your actual work.
