> If your definition of hustle is stack ranking I look forward to carrying the industry when you burn out and get out.
I keep trying to bide my time, but all the industries outside of tech I could rely on have been absolutely wrecked by COVID. Remote first companies get 500+ applicants per role and you're lucky if you ever get more than an automated application acceptance these days.
I'm seriously going to pivot to Cyber Security in the hopes that I don't have to deal with office politics, or tech bros with deluded aspirations of C-level rank trying to grind their way to the top of middle management (at best) at this phase of my career (former boot strapping founder that's over and seen enough of disarray the VC and hype machines cause) that lets me just save by not living and commuting in a high CoL area anymore.
I still think I have one more startup in me (one day) so burning out for a corp is not how I want to go out in order to in the right cultural fit in some PM's eyes.
