same, i'm in a job where i can sort of coast, it's stressful, the people mostly, but the work is easy.
i lost interest in dealing with all the bs and whenever i try to look at the job market i just feel too demoralised to go through all the hoops just to get another job where i will be dealing with the same or new kind of bs.
i feel like this may be my last coding job after 15 years, maybe i can do another 2-3 more.
- cableshaft 5y agoWhat do you think you might do after coding? Management or a different field entirely? I've considered management but I also don't really want to deal with people bullshit, and I'm having a harder and harder time listening to bullshit business meetings in general, and I imagine there'd be a lot more of those.
- 5350-uiop-1130 5y agosomething different. also maybe get back into academia somehow. i would take a 70% paycut to do some low key work where i don't need to deal with an office, and office politics.
- cableshaft 5y agoWow. I don't think I could easily afford a 70% paycut. 20% maybe, but 70% is a pretty deep cut. Good on you for being in a situation where that's a viable option!
