Not that you asked, but my advice is to shoot your shots wherever you find them. If the odds are bad either way, might as well aim for the jobs that will keep you sane and make things better for yourself and others.

You’re not weak. It’s genuinely a dehumanizing, exhausting experience that seems to get worse year after year. I’m barely in my 30s, I’ve been laid off twice and had to relocate once. Each search was worse than the last.

I hope you are right. More end-user freedom is a good thing and, if it is a matter of turning the tide, I’d love to see more tech companies competing to be the most accessible for repairs.
