Ask HN: Anyone just given up on industry?
I've had a half dozen jobs since graduating college, and several before then.
I just get to a job and after 6-12 months I've just had enough. By enough I mean, just so much boredom that I cannot tolerate being apart of the organization anymore.
For those that struggle with this or something similar, how do you cope or dont you?
- itamarst 8y agoI tend to get bored when I'm not learning anything new, so I have this issue too to some extent. Some options: 1. Figure out how to automate yourself out of a job, which can be a new challenge. 2. Rewrite a legacy system to not be terrible, so you're doing root cause fix instead of bandaids. (Talk about those in more detail here: https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/03/15/stagnating-job/ https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/03/15/stagnating-job/) 3. Find an organization with many kinds of projects and move teams when you get bored. Much less work than finding a completely new job.
