Quarterly planning, sprints, performance reviews, layoffs, LC and interviews, learn new frameworks and next cool stuff during the weekend. Rinse and repeat. It’s so tiring. F myself for choosing a tech career for money Tc 400k
Just take some time off or sabbatical
Should I make a baby for a paid parental leave lol
parental leave is not a vacation time
Golden handcuffs in action
That is always in other industries too, though pace may be higher on tech than others but then so is the payout as well
You could be a public school teacher for 38k/yr
You get paid 400k tho
You live in a city where a shit house is $2M though
Learning new shit on the weekend? Nah that’s reserved for Fridays, if I even feel like it.
And during work time ofc
At least you can cry into all that $$
How many years of education got you to 400k TC? Compare that to doctors who take at least 10 years to get 250k starting TC.
They have best job security and respect from the society though. They can either take a chill job or open a practice and make tons of money. SWEs are just well paid slaves

Lol, in another industry you would feel the same burnout with much lower TC. The grass is always greener on the other side. Just saying ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You’re right. It’s probably same for any person with a job that they don’t truly want
“Grass is always greener over the septic tank.” is the accurate observation.
