Jan 2018 - First permanent job out of college: "dev/ops engineer" - (Basically: help with docker stuff, manage all CI/CD, some Linux sysadmin stuff, misc SRE stuff, and occasionally some Rails development or other web dev tasks as needed).

$62,000. Rarely more than 40 hours/week, never/rarely weekend/evening work, and generous PTO (5+ weeks of vacation + legal holiday + sick leave).

Previous work was 3 years as a student linux sysadmin working for a research department on campus, and then a contract position with them after I graduated for ~6 months before I found a permanent job.

US - Midwest. White. Male. Born in '92. Took me a while to get through college.
