Do you realize the crash of the tech industry/software engineers is ruining lives?

I went from a salary of $76,000 a year with a 25% debt to income ratio to making only $40,000 a year with a debt to income ratio instantly adjusted to 48%!

Yes

No

Yes, that's typical of employment losses in any industry. I'm glad I got out in good time. Sorry for your difficulties.

[IHaveRespawned]

What career did you entet into afterwards if you don't mind me asking?

Of course, there are a lot of other factors contributing to my situation too, such as a history of severe mental illness and now being on disability working a part time job.

[slatyb]

I retired as the stock I received had grown about 10x.

[IHaveRespawned]

Lucky you

[slatyb]

Indeed I was.

Yes, part of the tech industry is having the ability to evolve. The industry is always changing and workers ha e to continually update there skills

[IHaveRespawned]

Correct, now we are at the stage of evolving ourselves out of a career

You did that by quitting and getting fired 30 times. You can’t blame Xiden and Trump forever. Take some responsibility for your choices.

Always be ready for change, especially in a fast-moving industry like that. Nothing is ever assured. Be ready.
