Ask HN: What alternate career is possible for Software Engineers? I have been working as Software Engineer for over 15 years. Last 6 years at Google. I was laid off a year ago and no matter how well the interviews go I get rejection. Interviews have also become much harder than few years ago. Asking LeetCode hard even for tech screening is very common. I feel like I am fighting a losing battle staying in Software Engineering field where standards to get hired are getting ridiculously high by the day. 10 years ago questions were 10 times easier. Now even a no name companies are expecting 7 rounds of interviews. I think I am done.
I am looking to get into alternate career. What are some of the fields I can try without re-educating myself? I am ok with lower salary. |
