- mxuribe 5y agoI tried this...and got as high as director (which i know isn't that high)...but i started as a lowly full stack web dev...and even tried moving laterally across to product management, and then to director, etc...and nope...life did not get easier...and i even tried at different orgs...I'm so burned out...i'm thinking of leaving tech altogether.
