We're in the process of hiring our first hire - this is a software engineer who will ideally grow into a CTO and a co-founder.
The market for 'candidate assessment' is very corporate and includes things like anti-cheating systems and tech tests - I think both of these would be off-putting, useless and condescending for the type of candidates I'm trying to attract.
I think like many people I find more work uninspiring, pointless and eroding. However, it's well paid, high status and hard to break into.
I have an interview next week for a coffee engineer role which pays around a third of what I currently earn and would involve being on the road four out of five days.
Has anyone else made a change like this? How did you find it? Did you miss the money and status?
I know that office work is desirable for a reason (people like to sit down!!) but I think there might be something inspiring and rewarding about working with me hands. Am I being naïve because I've never really had to work with my hand?
Thanks for your help and honest feedback.

I thought this was only me but one of my good friends is legally blind. He has a screen reader for his emails, but it's tied to his gmail and he can't carry it around with him. He also has the same problem and we had a long conversation about it last night.
There was a thing called HeraldSpeaks but it now 404s. Does anyone know anything else? Thanks in advance!
