At my previous job, I got hired to build VR apps for the HTC Vive on Windows, which was exactly what I wanted to do. But I only ever got assignments to build AR apps for the iPad[0]. So while nobody was physically putting a gun to my head, there was the ever present threat of not being able to provide for my family.
