Why I Quit Software Engineering After 4.5 Years
I quit my software engineering job after 4.5 years — not because I hated it, but because I needed clarity. In this video, I talk honestly about: • Why I quit software engineering after 4.5 years • What I thought quitting would fix • What it actually fixed (and what it didn’t) • Why stepping away gave me clarity instead of answers • How I ended up coming back to coding with a different perspective I stepped away for a while, but feels good to back. Bit of a rebrand as-well. Hope you guys are well.
