Ask HN: Those who quit tech, moved back home, what do you do?
Especially those who quit tech and went back from western countries to their (non-western) homeland, what do you do now? Are you happier than before? What are the reasons you left?
- subpixel 9mo agoI like to imagine that they also quit reloading this domain.
- codingrightnow 9mo agoI quit software, though I never made it very far in it it was my profession for 16 years. I'm a corrections officer now. My new career is drastically less stressful.
- PenguinCoder 9mo agoInteresting. I was a LEO, moved gradually into infosec. I think the stresses are different, but LEO was way more actively stressful.
- VoidWhisperer 9mo agoAtleast you are less likely to get shot at in infosec, that probably helps with the stress
- DANmode 9mo agoI want to believe. What state?
- sometimes_all 9mo agoI didn't exactly quit tech: I quit big tech and moved back home. Now I freelance, and I'm happier than I've ever been. There's a certain joy to being with family in an environment everyone is familiar with and has a history in, which no kind of emigration can replicate.
