Career switching options for software engineers to have better WLB
Are there opportunities for software developers to switch careers within Disney? As a single mother, I'm struggling to maintain a healthy work-life balance and also facing challenges with a toxic manager. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. #software

I’ve been trying unsuccessfully for 18 months to get out of software engineering. It’s hard to move around because Disney likes hiring specialists. I saw a technical program manager posting that said “must have 5 years of experience working with themed entertainment on cruise ships”.
Become a manager in the same team. Or Product/Program manager.
Considering the intense competition for promotions or role changes, I don't believe that's a viable option for me at the moment 😞
