Though my academic background is in computer science, I've spent years working in other sectors such as translation and education (areas that are fortunately easier to pivot into without years of rigorous accreditation like law or medicine).
I derive a great deal of personal satisfaction from working in these fields, but given your relatively high salary prerequisites, they'd likely be nonstarters for you.
It's honestly a bit difficult to give any concrete advice without additional specifics into your situation:
- Do you have a formal degree in computer science or an adjacent field?
- Is your resume only populated with your startup businesses?
- Have you worked for an existing company in a tech-related role for at least two years?
etc.
Good luck with your search!
- silvercymbals 1y agoI initially worked for Amazon out of college (where I have a legit CS degree), but yeah it's mostly startups. Fortunately I have evidence of progression at each. I was a technical co-founder for the past two years. Spent the past six months at an accelerator in SF (YC tier) but my concept just wasn't a viable business. Frankly, I'm really tired of startups and just want a normal job for a while. I don't really care anymore if its in tech or not. I'm pretty close to just getting a job at a UPS Store because it's getting hard to care about any of this anymore.
