I have been in the world of software development for more than 10 years. Over the course of my career, I have donned the hat of a tech-aware Scrum Master.
I have reached a point where I achieve the things that are part of my responsibilities rather quickly. Time and again, I'm finding myself asking for work to my immediate managers. I am purposely using the plural “managers”, cause the pattern seems to repeat even after changing the organisations.
I see the posts/comments from people wanting to make more money, but for me, it is the opposite end that matters. While the money is coming in, and making the ends meet — it's the dreadful thought of “what do I do now?” during the day is making the work day unsatisfactory.
My other interests are wireframing and prototyping, which I had done in the early days of my career. I feel they put me in some kind of “a zone”.
If you have seen the movie “Soul”, the dialogue from a particular character after their jazz performance, “We come back tomorrow night and do it all over again!” — hits me hard!
Career change and its repercussions on finances are something that I can't bear at the moment, so I'm asking the HN community — Have you been through such a situation? How do you deal with it?
