Anyone who thought that any job was long term was naive. Did they not read the whole “at will” work thing that I have signed before accepting any job.

I have never in my 25+ years in tech thought that any job was going to be “long term”.

I also sacrificed more compensation for the stability of my family until my youngest graduated and then I took a job at BigTech.

It didn’t require me to relocate. But it could have required extensive travel.
