And for those who don't love it... there are lots of jobs that are not programming, but are still in the industry. Quite a lot of them even pay more than programming! Seek them out.
Out of curiosity, what roles do you think pay more than programming? Product? PM?
- golergka 9y agoTechnical management. You have to be a good programmer, of course, but it's OK if you like talking to people more than writing code.
- pbrb 9y agoYeah that's what I was thinking - most anything that's going to consistently pay better than a direct development role is still going to require an understanding of programming. Outside of management roles, I've really only seen devops, product, and networking pay more than development (plus variations on these roles, or niche DBA/storage). Even then, it's not consistent, and in at least the devops role, you'll still likely be writing code every day. Edit: Forgot about sales! I have a neighbor who works from home in sweat pants but makes insane money in tech sales. Though, he has admitted that the easy stuff is drying up.
