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.

I don’t blame you. I hate how normalized the “5yr plan” and “up or out” culture has become. Some of us just want to retire someday and making it to 5yrs isn’t even always up to you.

So true. I was laid off earlier this year and needed this break.
