Is anyone else tired of people? Having to interact with people, be “on”, doing back to back meetings? What job can I make six figures a year but requires limited social interactions?

As an SWE, I still have to interact with people though. There are a lot of meetings for me because I am a corporate slave.

You can try freelance though.

There are different kinds of SWEs. You can try googling the different types and see what their responsibilities are. But for freelance, it’s mostly mobile/web development.
After figuring out what kind of SWE you want to be, you can look at a roadmap in becoming one and see which technologies you need to learn.
The most important skill is to be okay with feeling vulnerable and dumb because there will always be new things to learn.
I did a bootcamp full time but you can definitely just do freecodecamp and codecademy and see how you like it.

I dont understand why there is such a labor shortage. Especially with corporate private sphere jobs that tend to pay well.

I think I may have made a huge mistake today. My skip level director sent out an email about something and asked us for feedback. I sent back a note and provided some. One of the things I said was that our job satisfaction might be improved if we could do more of X kind of work instead of Y kind of work that we do so much of in our group. The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?

My last position (horticultural assistant) found myself taking on a good amount of projects that were being left unfulfilled, due to coworker politics (a few co worker’s wanted to see the supervisor fall short of expectations) in addition I had difficulty with my manager( sexual harassment) I rejected their advances, and I was laid off in December
