What are you doing now?
- sloaken 6y agoI am working for a company that does not build tech, so I am not in the companies business line. My boss is not technical, I am the most technical employee. We have contractors who maintain the network. I manage the contractors and a couple of employees. I do not write SW. I write proposals, go to meetings, explain why buying some shiny object will not improve the work environment. What I love is SW development. I love creating algorithms, either by myself or part of a group. I love debugging code. So why did I take the current job? My boss was leaving, he was technical, they were looking at hiring a non tech as a replacement, or moving me into the role. I realized if they hired someone else, they would not do anything but ask me when will it be done. So when I say I want to go back to development, I want it with a boss who is at least semi technical. I want the company to produce something in the tech field. Also considering contracting. Ideal job would be going digital nomad. But for a variety of reasons, I cannot leave for at least a year, but optimally 18 months. Assuming the economy holds up.
