Comment on Ask HN: How would you pivot out of tech?

Comments

As you gain professional experience, you will be pushed towards management positions that involve less and less technical work over time. Once you haven’t installed a development environment on your professional laptop for a year, you are ready to simply become a manager in another field. Maybe not in the top companies but management experience is management experience.

That would be my safest plan, though it’s not very exciting professionally.

Alternatively I could find an IT position in a company working in another field, and try to slowly do less IT and more other things.

Last plan is to somehow find 2 billion euros and do whatever I want instead.
