I cooked in fine dining for 5 years. Then did 5 years in the military. Now I'm coding. If I had to do it all over, I'd probably still do se/dev, just earlier.

I cooked in fine dining for 5 years. Then did 5 years in the military. Now I'm coding.
If I had to do it all over, I'd probably still do se/dev, just earlier. Sucks being behind my friends when it comes to money/homeownership/etc.
After having two careers where money wasn't great, I'm all about the money now.
- anxiouspete 8y agoI'm kind of the opposite. I have a very good salary now at a young age, but I feel that I'm losing my youth. In many ways I would half my current salary to not be stuck in an office writing CRUD - but then I think about all the flexibility my salary provides and go the other way. It's a hard choice
- ryanchants 8y agoI've been struggling with a parallel problem recently. I'm on track to go into engineering management, which I'm very interested in doing. But part of me wants to take a remote job even if it means a pay cut and moving somewhere cheap and traveling more and working more flexibly.
