Ask HN: Which types of tech jobs are best for people that can't handle stress?
It depends on what stresses you. I hate red tape and indecisiveness. When I want to get something done, I hate having to go through bureaucracy and meetings and approvals.<p>For me, small companies or small teams where I am on team that has complete autonomy over the “how” is the least stressful. Of course you want some sensible standards.<p>I was more stressed out as the “Dev lead” with supposed authority where every decision had to go through red tape, a ticketing system and approvals than I was at a small company where I was “just” a developer who would let my team know my architectural thinking - just to make sure I wasn’t missing something - and then have free reign from development, devops, netops, etc. - I had admin access to their  AWS infrastructure.<p>I also don’t do well in large companies. I can do it, but having to deal with large organizations stresses me.<p>I’m also a little nuerotic about not being competitive in the market and being “stuck” at a job.
