Ask HN: Anyone quit their job due to health issues?
I and lots of my coworkers been having issues with spine/neck. Wondering anyone quit their tech job due to health issues? Maybe other issues like eyes etc And if so which job did you switch to

This crept up quite a bit during the pandemic and a lot of people just "powered through" which only exacerbated things. That had a compounding effect on which led to burnout and anxiety.
One left tech to join his brother in an outdoors adventure company where they rent/sell rafting and camping equipment and run tours.
I know another one who shutdown his zombie startup. Now he just manages his rental properties and runs a newsletter for a "ZeroHedge" type crowd.
No one seems to be getting rich but they seem much more fulfilled.
