Leaving my job as an aerospace engineer to become a software developer. I was doing software development anyway in my previous job but had major imposter syndrome, so it felt like a big risk.
Simarly, Leaving my "good" Mechanical Engineering job to pursue game development which led me to general development and my current career!
Trying to explain to my immigrant parents (immigrated to the U.S from Jamaica) that I was quitting my Engineering job to make games was an..... "interesting" conversation. 😅
Damn, would love to hear what things you did there, if you don't mind 😅
I started writing a response, but it turned into a post 🙂: dev.to/n1ckdm/dealing-with-imposte...
I am at this stage at the moment, seems like I know what to do but just can't do them and struggling to shake it off. Any tips?
Try to be confident in your abilities and try to think about what you really want in your career and then go for it. Easier said than done, I know. What situation are you in at the moment? Happy to chat in more detail if you want to DM me.
I have looked around the interface here to see if I can locate a DM button somewhere here. I'll DM on Twitter instead
Decision to leave college without graduation 🎓 today I so happy with that decision 💝
Wow
Thanks Medea :)
Waoh! I'll love to hear what you ventured into instead
Temporarily changed my career so that I could use the time to up-skill.
Pull one nighter for a temporary project. I will never underestimate animation and side effect again. At least, I know what I don't.
Actively debunking software development paradigms and technology stacks, revealing them for what they truly are. See my profile for details ...
Having multiple software development jobs. haha
