Compared to most other options? Software Developer has been the least stressful title I've ever held, even with the occasional long nights involved. It helps that our relationship with employers tend to be in the Software Developer's favor. - It's unlikely for someone to be fired suddenly (outside of outlier companies like Netflix) - The high salaries give people an opportunity to build up a decent emergency fund (which everyone should 100% absolutely have) - Finally, with the high demand for experience in the U.S., there's a high likelihood for any experienced dev to find a new job within three months With these factors in mind, devs should always be able to walk into work with piece of mind, no matter the situation.
