Try teaching and lecturing position.
You'll do minimum coding unless you want to code for fun and try new ideas. If you have research funding you can become the project lead but the pressure is much less than industry since only prototyping demo not shipping.
The academic institutions will really appreciate your experiences and students as well.
I wish all the best for whatever you decided to do.
- dhosek 2y agoTeaching tends to be low pay/high effort. K12 education is about classroom management first and subject matter second. You will need specialized education to teach public school. Post-secondary is badly broken with the majority of open positions being non-tenure track and/or adjunct. You end up getting no benefits and low pay and have to teach at multiple schools to cobble together a sub–middle class income. You will also need a graduate degree, preferably a PhD.
- spicyusername 2y agoThis is such a bummer because teaching is both critical to a functioning society and enjoyable to do. I constantly fantasize about teaching but stop quickly after reality hits.
- vundercind 2y agoMy spouse loved teaching. The problem is that teaching is a small part of the job, and has been steadily shrinking for years. Almost every other part is terrible. My spouse is no longer a teacher.
- throwaway_43793 2y agoThanks. Teaching does not pay as good as tech. Pity, but this is the world we live in
- namaria 2y agoKeep coding then. Pity, but this is the world you live in.
