I don’t think I hate the field . I have my niche corner that I love doing. I tried to get out there and do something else and had the exact same burnout feeling you are having about tech interviews.
Taking a break from this all for now. I cannot afford to spend a few months monkeying around leetcode to work on stuff that I know I will never need in the job. I’d rather spend that time with my family.
- Nuzzerino 6y agoWouldn't the higher salary translate to retiring younger = more time with family?
- reacharavindh 6y agoI used to think so, when I was single and working more than I should. But, I have a one year old at home now, and I’d give anything to reduce stress elsewhere and spend more time with him. He is growing so fast right in front of our eyes, and I do not want to miss these moments in our lives. Of course, I’m not talking about slacking to the job to use family time. I’d like to work in a low stress environment and shut work off when I need to. Interview prep demands me to spend a lot of hours on toy problems in leetcode which of course I can’t do at my work time. So, I decided to not do it, atleast now.
