Oculink seems to do better than Thunderbolt for reasons that are unclear in my zero research so far

As someone that has faced similar decisions in the past I'll say that money isn't everything and quality of the job and what you do matters very much when one is living somewhat comfortably or sometimes even if one's personal financial situation may not even be the best. Why? A miserable job cost me better jobs because I became shittier as a person which made interviewing for a better job much harder and my skills atrophied significantly. Burned out, quit, and didn't work for half a year. It wasn't worth even a 30% increase in salary as a result although I think it was necessary eventually for me to hit a wall and find joy and motivation again.

Most companies that treat their employees really well though as a philosophy tend to retain and keep solid employees though. Just be aware that some companies use this as a means to work people to the bone in a backhanded way.

There’s hopefully some feedback mechanisms for tuning the signal for better fidelity and giving some tips to users for better frequency response options. Hell, a calibration system that guides users to put the transducers on different surfaces and places would be pretty neat if you ask me. Something on the floor of a car or the dash would work better for sound than windows, especially because rolling the windows down would mean no more speakers.
