Look this comes off as totally weak.
If you&#x27;re a strong developer as you claim you have no god damn problem. Tell your wife, &quot;Look these assholes are busting my balls, I&#x27;ll figure something out within a month&quot; and hustle your ass off and you&#x27;ll get a job. The market is hot as fuck right now and it is easier than ever to get a high paying job.<p>If you have no university degree and next to no industry experience, 40k is not that far off the mark. But if you&#x27;re doing the work of a 75ker, you should be able to convince someone you&#x27;re worth at least say 60k. I find it strange that you had kids before you were making the kind of money you need to support them.
