Been in tech for 8 years and completely relate. It feels like the industry has shifted from building cool things with impact to just optimizing existing systems for the smallest gains. I keep wondering, what’s the next step for people like us who feel burned out but still need to make a living? I'd love to get out of this corporate nightmare.
