Out of interest what kind of fields are you looking at?

I expect there are going to be a bunch of people in similar situations to you over the next few years, I'm interested to know where they end up.

I'm reminded of the "MongoDB is WebScale" video:

    as of this moment I
    officially resigned from my job as
    software engineer and will take up work
    on the farm shoveling pig shit and
    administering anal suppositories to sick
    horses because that will be a thousand
    times more tolerable than being in the
    same industry as dipshits like you

Amazing to re-watch

How I feel about merging an AI-generated PR these days and waiting for the issues

is my favorite quote from the video.

Currently computer networking or perhaps security. Or something else. In an ideal world, I go back to college and retrain as a sign language interpreter. But I can't afford that.
