Ask HN: Is there a place in tech for me? If so, where?
I've lived in Silicon Valley my whole life and have now worked here for about 8 years, mostly doing QE of some sort. For the last year or so, though, I feel like I've hit a wall.
I don't really care about working on world-changing projects, or a pool table and fridge full of snacks, or even tons of free t-shirts. I really just want to walk in at 9, do work with some minimum threshold of interesting-ness, and walk out at 5 without worrying about whether I'm on call or what ridiculous promise the sales guy in our open-plan office has made.
Do you have a job like that? Does it exist? If so, where, and how can I get there?
