Make 115k TC at 3YOE in risk/PMO, dislike consulting and don’t see much future there anymore currently.
SWE seems to fit the lifestyle / work style that I aim for more. Would it be silly to do a bootcamp and potentially take a short-term reduction on TC or should I look for PMO / business adjacent roles in industry and keep increasing comp that way? All advice appreciated, thank you
