If you're a manager at a McDonald's, and you switch to being a programmer, were you demoted then too? I think every time I've heard the word 'demoted' it was in the context of staying on the same ladder. It just doesn't seem like the right word choice, even if it is arguably correct.
- fma 6y agoThe title wouldn't be as interested if it was "I followed my dreams to change my career a software developer" I do not view career changes as a promotion or demotion. You're starting at neutral. When I clicked the article I thought it would be about maybe a Senior Developer, Technical Manager or Architect going to developer...which...is kinda what happened to me (less meetings & responsibilities, more coding). But alas the story had little relationship to what I expected.
