Who tf quits their job voluntarily in this economy? And then in a shithole country like the US at that, where social security safety nets basically don’t exist
An unemployed programmer here who quit their job 6 months ago. Also have a baby on the way.
To answer your question - people who are totally burnt out. Some of us have been in the trenches for a long time and when you start to spiral, the world gets pretty dark. I’m not rich, I was just broken.
Yep, title should be “wealthy white colar workers who made bank on tech now refusing to learn new tech and indulging in their hobbies”.
Okay… maybe an AI could have written it better, but I know I suck at writing anything concise.
people who built up millions as a tech worker,they can afford it, in the last 10 years if you been working you would likely have that much by now. if you are just starting maybe not, or a newborn on the way. alot of them are holding onto theier jobs for dear life though.
in the last 10 years if you been working you would likely have that much by now
This might be more likely for big tech workers, but it’s less realistic the further you get from the Silicon Valley archetype. Saving millions over 10 years would mean averaging $200k+ per year after taxes and expenses, which I can’t imagine will happen in my career unless I start a successful business or get lucky gambling on stocks.
