As a developer for 15 years: there's no reason to put up with any bullshit in this field. They need us more than we need them. This field is mercenary as fuck.

I've switched jobs on average every 2 years, except for one that I went back to for a second stint and one that was just a great place to work (remote). My salary has quadrupled in those years and I've learned never to stick around out of fear that there isn't something better: there always is, and if the next job isn't the one, get another one after that (and probably another raise).
