I’m in the process of quitting a CS phd and trying to get my first real job with a masters in CS. Of course, when I started the phd in 2021 I had multiple offers but also had a fantasy of going into academia and thought similar offers would still be available in the event I wanted to leave part-way through. Well, the time has come and basically nobody’s interested in me anymore.
I reached out to an old contact I used to do freelance webscraping type work for in my last year of undergrad and he offered me a 65k full time remote position doing power platform development. I’m worried that doing this kind of development not only won’t be interesting to me, but also won’t benefit my career in the long term. I’d rather be doing more legit software engineering but nobody’s interested in my applications.
Should I keep searching or just be happy with 65k? Is 65k good for the market right now? Will doing this kind of development hurt my career?
