Not to argue, but can you expand on why instead of just saying "this thing sucks"?
Re: How to quit your job in 837 easy steps
#6This resonates. I've got a job in tech I find fairly fulfilling and it pays super well. I work hard, which sometimes means long hours, but more often just means I'm constantly thinking about work at home. I'm able to take care of my family and put away money for the future. I want for basically nothing, and I totally recognize my privilege in that.
But I was a baker for a few years before getting into tech. And I'm a passionate gardener every summer. I love making games and building little technical systems and watching them go.
There's a part of me that wonders... maybe things would be nicer if I was to move out of the city and open a bakery. Or a brewery. Or take on some small contract work enough to fund my side projects and gardening habit. It would mean setting down my income, school options for my child, activities in the city, leaving my friends behind, etc.
It's difficult to reason about. There's a lot of emotional pulls in both directions. I totally understand the author spending a majority of their energy in switching jobs trying to even approach the problem of whether it's worth it. The easy part is quitting, the hard part is figuring out if one should quit.

#8Well, at least they got a bit creative in the click-bait headline. The whole 837 steps but actually 15 steps is a fun little twist. I wonder if someone has some data on the optimal click through number for numbers in headlines, and does it vary from industry to industry?

Personal opinion of course, but exactly what I thought. I even tried skipping parts to see if it was going somewhere. It didn't. Tries to sound smart but it's all emptiness. No useful information. Useless anecdotes that fill space. Pretty much resumed by someone describing herself as technophile and technophobe. Tries to sound interesting and smart but totally fails at it.
