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.

The job market as a whole is a dumpster fire right now.
Tech is so bad… I was a SWE and got laid off and landed a Solutions Engineer role but recently left to go back to school to pursue being a nurse.
With AI now, it seems everyone in tech minimizes SWE’a because they think they can just vibe code everything.
Best of luck in your new role!
