Title: I want nothing more than to do any other line of work.<p>Honestly I feel more inspired to drive Uber than ever do another tech challenge or deal with another incompetent manager.<p>Fuck malicious compliance and the assholes who put you in that position.<p>I love programming, but the people and this industry is a whole other beast.<p>I have given 20+ years of my life trying to make a living for my family.<p>It has provided me an income but it came at a cost way more than I ever imagined.<p>I know I&#x27;m not alone in feeling this way.<p>I would like to start over, but I have no background or time left to start over with.<p>The idea of burning it all down just to start all over again is painful, but not as painful as it has been working in tech.<p>What success stories of leaving the tech industry can you all provide?<p>I guess for the ones who really got out they probably will never even see this.<p>I know if I had I would not be here reading any of this.
