It’s not my writing. I just am aggregating articles that I find around the web. I’m not a professional investor or anything like that. Very transparent about that.

Check out render.com, it is pretty similar but cheaper and supports more stuff like HTTP/2.

Thank you for the very thoughtful reply. Generally I like writing and am good at it when I'm in the right mindset. I feel like there's politics to everything but I hear that PMing it is extra prevalent so that is something I need to consider. Most of the PMs I work with now are in meeting hell, so I wonder if they need better processes. Anyways, thanks again for the thoughtful answer. It sounds overall like a net positive career change for you.

Yea I really appreciate that candor. I am quite worried that I would end up the same way. I think that is what is worrying me and has me asking this question.

Have you tried any courses or read books on how to discover initiatives from the company's strategy and goals? It sounds like maybe the company doesn't have those clearly defined if it is hard to figure out what to do next, granted I know nothing about your company and product team makeup. Best of luck!

Idk about significantly less. Based on some research I've done, they make less, but nothing that I can't live comfortably with. Also just because something is in demand doesn't mean that I enjoy doing it still.

Yea that's helpful thanks. It sounds like overall that you're happy you made the transition?

Where do you find these jobs? Everything I see seems to require sales experience, which being a dev I do not have.

That sounds incredible, honestly I am quite jealous as it sounds like a grind to get to where you are. I will have to look into this more. I have always enjoyed real estate related stuff so maybe this could be a good calling.

What kind of role did you have when you switched to real estate? I have actually been thinking about becoming an agent since you can make decent money and the licensing process seems rather simple for what it is.

I have been interested in software sales as well but that seems like it could be hard to break into as an engineer.

This is by far the longest I have ever been with a company. I am rolling on 7 years at the moment. Part of me thinks that time off and a new company could be the answer but it's hard to know.

DevOps doesn't really interest me. It seems to be messier than software development with all of the craziness like K8s and stuff like that nowadays.
