Oil and Gas isn’t tech bro. Austin is heavy FinTech city. What kind of tech we talking about in Houston?I've done IT in the med center, and I've done IT for a college. Believe what you want to believe
Lol yeah I'm in the same boat. Been firing up the leetcode over the last few months too, can only get one problem a week done because the fire isn't there like it used to be. shyt's so boring to me now. But I'm not about to let folks catch me slippin.

I've been leetcoding lately. I'm curious how many problems in total have you done on there?
According to the website I've only done 23 this year, because I mostly use these two services:
AlgoExpert | Ace the Coding Interviews
The leading platform to prepare for coding interviews. Master essential algorithms and data structures, and land your dream job with AlgoExpert.
www.algoexpert.io
If I can find a leetcode problem on one of those, I'll use that platform instead since I like the explanations way better.

I wonder how the work in the Geospatial data field is, I always hear people talk about coding; usually OOPS related but never anything GIS.

Dope. I've been using the neetcode website this year too. I never liked the algo expert dude on YouTube he always came off as incompetent.
I’m talking about tech jobs
How are your merit increases this year? I ended up getting a 3% increase. To put in reference I turned down a role that would get me closer to 20% because I didnt find the role as interesting and it wasn't in AI which I believe it's going to be a huge upshot in the near future which will afford me larger opportunities.
I've been at the role for a year though so I say I can work here another year and assess things. My boss said he wish he could give me more and I'm at the higher range of my merit increase compares to my team this year.
The goal this year is to campaign for a promotion, build my network by going to more conferences, and code more to get more visibility. The life of tech sales

I should add more context here.
My current role has a better work-life balance. I work remote, my manager doesn't micro manage me, and I have room to learn more in this role. Plus I have a very supportive boss, a brother, so that is something that is invaluable for me right now given my last role. I just get treated well at this company and that says a lot.
I do want more money at the end of the day though so I will work to put myself in certain rooms, places, etc. Just posting more content on my LinkedIn has given me more visibility.

Hearing about the bloodbath that is happening in the industry makes me feel like a survivor in a zombie apocalypse 
My company did layoffs a couple of years ago that I dodged but things have been pretty stable on my end since then

I always choose the role that's going to challenge me and increase my skills. When you're good at what you do and actually "like that", you'll always eventually get paid on the back end.
My last two position positions were literally senior cyber rolesLet him be he's probably talking about glorified help desk work.
