Can you elaborate on your dev support role? Seems like this would be less flexible than a dev role. I’m asking because I’m interested in support roles as well.

I’m asking because I’m interested in support roles as well. What’s the company and name of the position?
- ryandrake 6y agoNot OP but I did something similar. Used to do the code/eat/sleep/code/eat/sleep lifestyle but realized I liked to refactor, polish and perfect too much and that was incompatible with the industry's demand to "ship barely working garbage on time". So I became a product manager, then project manager, and instead do coding on my free time. It's great because it lets me stay in software, but in a supporting role and I don't feel the pressure to get on the code/eat/sleep treadmill. The down side is it's a little harder to find jobs. Companies hire software developers by the truck load, but usually only require 1 PM or PJM for every 50 engineers they hire. I keep my skills up and could still pass your company's C++ interview, but honestly I don't really want to.
