Depressing to think that it's a lost case already!

Exactly, once the integration is complete it's all over. Also, I have been trying to request people to move on to other platforms with no luck for the past many years.

Save up a bit for say 6 months and take a break. Explore your interests and see if any of your exploratory projects can be monetized.

I faced this once - i prioritized my health over the job, and quit immediately. Needless to say, it was a very bad experience. Zero professionalism. I paid them to get rid of notice and left immediately.

I had similar concerns and had reached out to the HN community quite a while ago. Seems like this issue is felt across the industry!

Well put.. strong words. I sometimes wonder if this happens only in the tech industry or has this virus spread from tech to other industries as well.

This is a very important point but oft neglected too. I wish more people speak out about this.

Separate point : tech industry tends to make one delusional about ones abilities (usually overestimation of intelligence)

This is orwellian and dystopian! Who else thinks so?

My suggestion - do not opt for personality tests. I have been tempted in the past to take these tests. But you have to understand that those who take these tests, are highly likely to believe the results - and the placebo effect takes place

Yeah this is indeed interesting! I think a platform like hackerrank isn't the solution to tech interviews. Nor is whiteboard demonstration a solution. It's somewhere in between, and Skypes integrated code editor seems like a good

Hey! You are not alone. I started getting this feeling around 2-3 years back and the feeling still lingers in me. I want to get out of tech (its been around 9 years in tech for me), and build real stuff, stuff you could feel and touch and a

I have been thinking along these lines for a long time now. But never had the courage to breakup with my first love - tech. But more & more, i am able to see the pointlessness and the absurdity of professional tech work! What do we real
