As someone trapped into the software, does anyone know how I can go out?
- giantg2 6y agoI'd say just tough it out with the goal to F.I.R.E.
- gryn 6y agonot all software developpers work in the US.
- gberger 6y agoSo?
- throwaway3699 6y agoIt's much less practical of a goal in some places. High taxes for example, make it harder to save as much.
- giantg2 6y agoImplying that FIRE participants are only in the US is just as wrong as assuming all developers are in the US.
- rantwasp 6y agodo you like design? :)
- can16358p 6y agoSure. No one can tell you exactly what job to apply, only you know what you'd really love. If you feel "trapped", start searching for something that you love doing (and also can get paid for that) that doesn't feel trapped. When you find it, you'll feel that it's the right thing.
- the_only_law 6y agoUnfortunately I’m never remotely qualified for the rare occasion I see I job I’d “love”.
- idontpost 6y agoSo do what you need to do to become qualified. Or don't. It's your life.
- toyg 6y agoIf you want to get on the managerial side, you have to learn how to get people to listen to you and do what you ask of them. You have to become an annoyingly squeaky wheel and develop your soft-skill Jedi mind-tricks. Or you can drop it all and start your business, which means all of the above plus sales plus lots of patience and little or no pay. Otherwise, you can always change career completely.
