I never really understood why people brag about their jobs like this, "haha I make $400k a year and work like 3 hours a month I'm an (insert vague sounding tech job here) just learn2code bro". ummm okay even if that's true why would you tell anyone? how about I call your company and promise to do your job for $350k? I wonder what the next one will be? "just learn to process asteroid lithium bro"
I found the reasons to be pretty simple: they lie. They do not earn this much, they get crunched in the work and they brag to get their selfesteem a few points up since they are being treated like shit and they don't like it.
