Getting Out of Software Development? These 4 Destinations Are Waiting for You
<p>There are two different types of developers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Those who love programming</li>
<li>Those who work in programming for the money</li>
</ul>

<p>Speak for yourself. I’m in it because I need an excuse to laugh at those with dvorak keyboards.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Whichever camp you fall into it is likely one day you will exit the profession. That might mean retirement or one of the other <em>final destinations</em><strong> </strong>listed below.</p>
<p>If you haven’t made a plan this can be a difficult transition.</p>
<p><strong><em>To help you plan here are 4 reasons you might leave software development, WHY people leave, and HOW you should enact this plan.</em></strong></p>
<h1>The reasons</h1>
<h2>Burnout</h2>
<p>It’s common in software development to work long hours and late nights. You might have experienced working in a toxic environment where your better nature is used against you and you are made to feel, that you must deliver no matter the personal cost.</p>
<p>Many find this type of environment to be difficult and put up with it for the money or until they find an alternative job. Admittedly some developers do <em>enjoy</em> working under pressure and even thrive in such environments.</p>
<p>People’s lives can change. Some people decide to work on a hobby or another focus. Others perform a <code>git clone</code> on themselves and get children.</p>
<p>Whatever the reason for stopping accepting working in that way is it seems to come to most (if not all).</p>
