The only people I’ve seen who have major troubles are people who don’t actually like to program, or who have very staunch/stagnant attitudes. Do you fit into either of those buckets by chance?
"who don’t actually like to program, or who have very staunch/stagnant attitudes."
Were those in the comment? Seems these would be more than just enjoying learning and growing.
I might be getting there now. That wasn't the case in the past. Office politics and poor management ruined me early in my career. I'm just a burnt out low performer now. I have seen many others who also fall into the category of enjoying learning and growing (and higher performing than I was) who are not making $150k. Remeber, the national median dev salary is about $110k. So most devs by definition are making substantially less than the numbers claimed. I guarantee many of them also enjoy learning and growing.
Take a sabbatical dawg. Or save up to take one. Being burnt out is no way to live, and is blinding you to your potential. You appear to have little to no professional confidence.
