Having a job you don't hate is such an amazing thing, it's well worth changing positions every few years if you hate the work, it looks good on a resume and is great for salary.

That being said if you can find a position that is bearable or even enjoyable it's absolutely not worth risking for salary imo (provided financially sustainability). On paper compared to many of my college peers I'm now pretty far behind in salary due to not pivoting to CS, but in terms of mental health it couldn't be more different.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
