This is literally my journey right now.
A recruiter told me that my book sucks and basically told me to pivot my career choices. I’ve had bad luck since graduating college; never had an internships, and had “mentors” literally ghost me lol

Kudos to you on your journey, thanks for this post I needed it

I have 20 years of corporate tech in a traditional F500 company (top 50). The only thing I can say that I like about my current job is the work-life balance and some of the people. But the work itself is soul crushing and the industry is stagnant. To those who are 40+ years old, is it crazy to change now?
