Zhian N. KamvarPeople who used to work in software but transitioned to a different career, what are you doing now and how did you get there?
Loke 🔥@zkamvar I now serve tea in a tea house 🍵 Loved speciality tea for a long time and just applied there, somehow got the job. It's been 1.5 years now and I'm extremely happy about the switch! Ngl, the money I make is much, much less, but I'm still able to manage life and it's worth it for the huge increase in my quality of life 💚
Flame@zkamvar @lokenstein Oh my god, that would be something I would love to do too. Big fan of tea and still stuck in IT. I just don't think it would be realistic for me since I don't know how good I would be in customer service jobs.
@flamecat @zkamvar yeah personally the switch was possible for me because I was laid off during a bad economic time when nobody in my area was hiring IT people, so I applies to various jobs including this one. I wouldn't have quit IT to work there because of the money difference, but now that it happened I'm happy with it!
I didn't know if I would be any good in customer service jobs either, but seems like it actually fits me! (or at least, this one fits me, I'm sure there's some customer service jobs which I would be miserable in)
