Been in industry for about 6 years. From QA, to Swe, consulting, all over. I hate corporate life and I hate working for someone else. Reporting to them and telling them what they wanna hear, to please their higher ups etc I’m making almost 300k in current role as SDE and started a side business in a niche I’m familiar with and was originally just a hobby. Fashion. I’m making almost 6k per month from this and am close to just pursuing it full time. I dread sprint meetings, design docs, CRs, all of it. Not to mention the mental toll AMZN takes on you. Passive aggressive mgmt and teammates. So, I just needed to vent i guess. I got into swe because I loved coding and hacking in my teens. I wanted to work on self driving cars and AI. Now I work on a cog for a cog for a cog in a machine. I make a fuck ton of money but boy am I depressed. I’ll likely leave within 6-12 months to pursue my fashion biz full time, along with investments. It’s more than tc. Its lifestyle, wlb, and purpose. Tc: 320k Yoe: 6
Lemme know if you want amazon interview tips😝😝
I would rather die
Wow your life must be fulfilling coming here to insult other people lol
Don't tie your goals and personal interests to work. I work to have freedom to pursue my interests.
How long did you work at Amazon? They burn you out quick. People age 4x at Amazon compared to other companies.
This app is unreal
It is lol
Probably better to post under #mentalhealth to avoid folks trolling you extra hard, but good luck, I think with 300 TC you probably must have saved enough to pursue your fashion business now instead of working in an area you no longer enjoy
I have so fed up with this life too. I make 22k. Have you ever made a fun app/ useful code for the masses. Fashion is even more boring to be real.
I feel the same as you feel but I don’t have any ideas or hobbies to start something of my own. Atleast you know what you want to do.
If you want to work in self-driving cars or AI why didn’t you get a job working on that? Seems silly to work at a job you hate?
Sounds like you're drifting away from the corporate world, not tech
