In 2023 after around ~6 months grinding it out and interviewing to land a senior software engineering job, I got laid off after only 6 months at the job. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back. I'm done with software engineering and the tech industry. I'm out and here is my 5 reasons.
0:57 - reason #1: not passionate
3:21 - reason #2: day-to-day
4:27 - reason #3: job market & demoralizing interview process
5:52 - reason #4: burn-out
7:05 - reason #5: not my strength
