I prefer to earn less and work remotely. A person that makes $300000 a year but works 60 hours a week makes less money per hour than a person that works remotely and makes half of that but works like 10 hours a week. and can enjoy most of its time.

If you get one of these jobs somehow, invest 50 percent of your salary. Its only a matter of time until your laid off so prepare for that. Dont just upgrade your lifestyle with a fancy car literally noone cares about.
@wuffgang5333
Ironically normally skilled devs cannot enter big tech but wouldnt leave. And top notch devs can enter big tech but might feel restricted there and leave😂
@imveryhungry112
The days of it being easy to get into big tech are OVER.
@Jenkkimie
I think big tech and tech in general is now getting bad reputation, but especially the big tech whose owners seemed to have gone crazy and mad with power. People don't want to work for companies that ultimately view them as nothing more than slaves.
@Jan__c2
The problem with working remotely for a company is that it’s likely a freelance programmer position, you never get to meet the people you work with, and there are no benefits. That’s why I don’t recommend freelancing unless you’re under your 30s, because you might be surprised to find that you’re working and earning money, but in the medium term, you’re actually getting poorer.
@akuskus
I work at big tech and it's tiring to be constantly bombarded with all kinds of topics related to advancing political propaganda and fake culture. Also big tech is investing absurd amounts of money to discriminatory political events and initiatives meant to advance people of certain skin color or gender. We are enduring all the crap because good salary is an effective way to shut down any idea of criticism or disapproval.

SWE expecting to build or work on the next big thing. Instead they are responding to tickets, different priorities like tech support.
@matthewgarber5517
I had a somewhat rare opportunity to work at a big tech company on a team that was the direct result of a startup acquisition. The team wasn’t acquired because it was similar to an existing project but they had a patent the company wanted. As a result the treated us more like a proof of concept team and we built something new from scratch with little oversight. Of course that couldn’t last forever and after about 3 years the red tape sand classic company politics began.
@HunteronX
Same, left a close enough large company last year. Interested in new things, so at a startup.

good summary, no fluff ❤

Thanks for sharing 🙏
@awmy3109
Just use AI to replicate all Meta and Microsoft technologies and make them free. Nobody should pay for anything anymore. It's that simple 😂.
@cantkeepitin
The job of a SW engineer must be the easiest in the World. E g. new MS Office and Win11 are so bad, that I see so many weaknesses in only few minutes and can't see a single improvement.
@WojennyMlotek
they leave or they are being laid off ??? :)
@the.opportunity.architect
Are these your personal reasons (sample size = 1) or more of a consensus among (former) colleagues? I think at times your points come off as a bit too strong and seem to generalize. I totally get why you'd pitch it like that though. Definitely appreciate sharing the reasons! 🙏
@fruitypebblez4309
The jobs are being sent overseas or given to AI now. The expectations of all the languages and technologies they want you to know keep growing and theur Aai system throws your resume out if you 2 missing and you cant even get past the AI.
@anuragdojo
They aren't leaving, they are being kicked out 🦶 Also big tech nowadays is not in the race of getting best engineers but best AI tools which could help them save cost and automate stuffs. The future seems grim for most midocre engineers.
