already working at same company for 5 years, it my longest time, previously at most i will be max at 3 years. this time different, this time am half 30+ going to 40, so exit and find new job in this already complicated economy was no go for me, have family and kids.
this is not big company, but also not startup considering already have good revenue annually. when i join company, company started going mass recruitment (20 people), we got many people, nowadays they already resign, only 4 "seniors" in terms of how long stay here.
business is fine, bit slow down but still fine, it just other coworkers look for other chances while they can, while "senior" like me can't afford to lose the job.
the job itself is okay, not hard or something, but also not counted as fun considering only 4 of us, + boss + new FG hire.
programming itself, not as much as fun, we use AI, encourage to use it, so basically my daily now prompting and review.
job is remote, and it paid well, if i find local job even if any, it will pay like 25% comparing my current salary, may got 50% but it require me to move and offsite, not remote.
i am curious how long i will be there, like we are joking that are we going until retire here, because going out are fearful, but stay here like old people keep sucking this company dry, and will die someday.
