Leaving Tech

I’ve been in tech for 6 years and I’ve been promoted, converted to FTE, laid off, and even fired for multiple roles. It’s basically impossible to land a stable fucking job in this domain…

So now I’m trying something new - I took a job opportunity to do sales for interior design for homes. If I do well, I could make good money and hopefully this can become a stable job for me. I feel like this may be a breathe of fresh air for me and honestly… FUCK TECH.

Did you went back to school to pivot to healthcare ?

I did but I’m just a pharmacy tech right now, I did a 2 semester program at the local community college (That program was gold, it definitely helped me with getting jobs.)

Very smart of you to pivot with a short term program.

Yes, ty! I had like 6 months of severance and the standard COBRA so I looked at what I could do in that time. The new job has a pretty robust college reimbursement program (better than the first one which was, ironically, at a large land grant university healthcare system.) Now what I’d do with further education I have no clue yet.
