I'd like to find out how many people start careers in software but end up quitting within the first 5 years. Does anyone know how I could find this data? Anecdotes welcome! If you started in software and quit, I'd be interested in your story. TC: 315k #tech #software #career

I know a few people that did. A couple moved into small business ownership and a few got MBAs. I think about doing either of those everyday but I don’t have a strong network in my city so I’d probably have to move Don’t think you’re gonna be able to find any data other then anecdotes
