If there is a place that is hiring and cares about Software Quality, I'll take a 70% paycut to work there.

You would have liked the last place I worked before retirement. Full-on software test team and everything. Private offices, too. Don't get me wrong, there were warts (oh, were there warts), but overall it was a good time. It wasn't a 70% pay cut, but the cut was considerable in comparison to what I was accustomed to. I didn't care, I was nearing retirement, and my "I'd take a pay cut if..." was the aforementioned private office.

But the company got sold to a conglomerate before I left, so I can't guarantee that culture is still there.

I've just accepted the fact that every tech company is just a dumpster fire.
