Ask HN: 离开软件工程后又后悔了
2 分•作者: t4367•6 个月前
有没有人转行离开软件工程，然后后悔的？
我是一名刚毕业的软件工程师，不确定是否想长期从事这个职业。我目前住在（纽约/旧金山/西雅图）其中一个城市，而且不太喜欢这里。人们似乎都非常专注于事业，这和我不太相符。我去过另外两个城市，感觉也差不多，所以不想找新工作（而且考虑到现在的市场，可能也找不到），因为那里的人可能也一样专注于事业。
我试着找过远程职位，但考虑到我目前的阶段，这种机会似乎很少。我曾想过，我可以留在目前的公司，直到我晋升为高级工程师，因为大多数远程工作似乎都要求这个。但如果我到了那个级别却找不到远程工作，我想我会非常失望。我之前通常认为，目标应该是享受过程，而不是结果，但我现在真的不太享受这个过程。
最后，我考虑过加入创业公司，因为工作内容似乎更有趣，但我对每周工作 6 到 7 天不感兴趣。我能接受周一到周五长时间工作，但即使是周末（经常性地）工作，也会让我感觉自己像是公司的财产。
我正在考虑重返校园，学习另一个专业，因为我至少有一些不错的积蓄。
抱歉，写了这么多。

Has anyone transitioned out of software engineering and regretted it?<p>I'm a new graduate software engineer and am not sure I want to do this career long-term. I currently live in one of (NYC/SF/Seattle) and don't really like it. People seem very career focused which I do not think describes me very well. I have visited the other two cities and they seem much the same so I don't feel like looking for a new job (and given the market probably cannot) as people will likely still be as career focused.<p>I have tried to look for remote roles but those largely seem non-existent given my current stage. I've thought that I could try and stay at my current role till I qualify as a Senior Engineer as most remote jobs seem to want that, but I think I'll be pretty disappointed if I get there and can't get a remote job. I've generally thought before that the goal should be to enjoy the journey and not the destination but I'm not really enjoying the journey.<p>Lastly, I have considered startups as the work seems more interesting but I am not very interested in working 6 to 7 days a week. I'd be fine with long-hours Monday through Friday but even weekends (regularly) starts to feel like I am property of the company.<p>I am thinking of going back to school for a different profession since I do have decent savings at least.<p>Sorry for the wall of text.
