My career in house started at around 2011. I did only contracting before that starting at around 2004. I used to hate contract work because at the time I was very new and was heavily invested in academics. I really just wanted to work in a team environment. I had a strong desire to work directly with my peers so that I could learn the trade. After I got my first real in house job I loved it for about the first 5 years. Then I kept growing in my career and moving to larger companies where "scrum master" was a title. I hated everything about programming from there on because the job became about constantly trying to measure something useless while also doing it differently every new try... As of last 3 months I have completely stop working in tech. I will only ever come back to tech as a contractor. I'm rebuilding my personal site to go as a consultant and contractor only from here on. I'm literally pulling down my resume today so that I stop getting harassed by these stupid recruiter Indian call centers. I will never willing work in a corporate hell scrape again and if I choose to it will be on my terms. I honestly think if this blog post resonated with you, you should just go work for yourself. It's far more rewarding even if its harder work to be your own boss. Good riddance to complacency and incompetence!
