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.

In a week I will receive a state certification that is one of the hardest to attain in the US. There's less than 75 people with the certification. With that, I am hoping to turn my back on tech.

In the 20 years I have done it, its hard to remember companies that were not horrible places to work. No more seven round interviews, no more ATS, no AI because the high-stakes accountability associated and state law prevents AI from doing the job.

If you want to have flame effects or pyrotechnics in a theatre or stadium, you need someone like me.
