Why not move to a tech hub and start a challenging job? If you're technically good, I don't think your current lack of money would block you.
You sound like you'd have a lot of motivation if you got out of your current local minimum. Making a big life change tends to do that.
- pdimitar 4y agoI am really not sure. I am not looking for more responsibility and more pressure on my psyche right now. I am very capable and have proven it in numerous projects but I honestly need to dial down the responsibility... Not sure how one breaks this loop though.
- plonk 4y agoWell I've been stuck like that a few times (still very young though), and changing cities/states/countries has always been the best way to get out of it. There are probably IC positions that don't cause Amazon-style stress while being technically interesting. Just a thought.
- pdimitar 4y agoBut that's just the thing: "more technically interesting" has a big intersection with "mentally exhausting". And sadly the things I'd code with a smile on my face don't look at all lucrative. We'll see. The only way to break this cursed feedback loop is to have more energy in me -- physical and mental. I am working on it with positive results but it's way too slow.
