      senior software developer base comp fell 10% this year
      
      while senior platform engineers got 8.9% (motion recruitment).
      
      same experience level, wildly different outcomes. the title you chase matters as much as the level.

      Ooof.. sleeping the first night back from Japan was OK. Last night? Not so much. Fell asleep at 10:30pm, was wide awake an hour later. Didn't fall back asleep until 5am, and then woke up at 10am.
