Comment on Ask HN: How can I get out of tech?

Comments

Army Veteran here. I had mild PTSD after my one tour. It's resolved now.

Now I work in tech (SWE and now Engineering Manager) at a SF startup.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Feel free to contact me at jacobmarble at gmail.

We moved from Southern California to the Idaho mountains a few years ago, because working for BigCo in BigCity was numbing. After the fun I had in college, and the intensity of the Army, it's easy to get bored and distracted by the beige walls and brutal politeness of everything since. The mountains have helped a lot, and I still get to work in tech.
