I felt the same way as you did in my Corporate SAP gig - writing the same type of report programs day in and day out - in hindsight it was soul sucking really.

I felt the same way as you did in my Corporate SAP gig - writing the same type of report programs day in and day out - in hindsight it was soul sucking really.
SAP in the mean time did their third attempt at the cloud (BTP/Steampunk) and it seemed like the same old shit I was working on the classic ECC 6.0 buried in more layers of shit but now running in the "cloud".
Covid then came along and I got laid off which provided me with a financial cushion of a year to realize SAP is not what I wanted to do anymore , interviews to rebalance a binary tree - really ????.
Learned something new/went back to my old roots as a C developer.
Now doing Python with Pandas - less pay - less hours but far far happier.
- weatherlite 4y agoThis is scary. I'm thinking about joining a corporate just to reduce the insane pressure peaks I experience now in my startup. I really don't wanna find out being in a corporate will make my mental wellbeing even worse :( We'll see...
- tibbydudeza 4y agoIt really all depends what the problem domain is - message routing to banks or tracking pallets in warehouses and reporting how many ended at the right place at the right time. The world needs their burger flippers.
