I’ve started to seriously look at escape plans to get out of tech. Matching the salary for a US engineer is hard, but I’d be willing to take a bit of a pay cut for less apathy and frustration. I want to avoid additional schooling/credential-gathering if possible (short certificates would be fine), but mostly I’m looking for ways to apply my core skillset to another industry (things like systematic problem solving; deep focus and critical thinking; a focus on building quality, durable solutions to problems). I’m not looking for a silver bullet because I have a list of ideas already but I’m curious to crowdsource this question and see if there are any intriguing ideas I hadn’t considered.
