问HN：从软件工程师转行，后悔了
有没有人从软件工程转行后感到后悔的？
我是一名刚毕业的软件工程师，不确定自己是否想长期从事这个职业。我目前住在纽约、旧金山或西雅图其中一个城市，但我并不太喜欢这里。人们似乎非常专注于事业，这与我的性格不太契合。我去过另外两个城市，感觉也差不多，所以我不想找新工作（而且考虑到市场情况，可能也找不到），因为人们可能还是会那么专注于事业。
我尝试寻找远程工作，但在我目前的阶段，这类职位似乎几乎不存在。我曾想过可以继续留在现在的岗位，直到我晋升为高级工程师，因为大多数远程工作似乎都需要这个资格，但如果我真的到了那个阶段却找不到远程工作，我会感到很失望。我之前一般认为目标应该是享受过程而不是结果，但我现在并没有享受这个过程。
最后，我考虑过创业公司，因为那里的工作似乎更有趣，但我并不太想每周工作6到7天。我可以接受周一到周五的长时间工作，但如果周末也要经常工作，就会让我觉得自己成了公司的财产。
我在考虑回学校学习其他专业，因为我至少有一些不错的储蓄。
抱歉写了这么多。

Has anyone transitioned out of software engineering and regretted it?<p>I'm a new graduate software engineer and am not sure I want to do this career long-term. I currently live in one of (NYC/SF/Seattle) and don't really like it. People seem very career focused which I do not think describes me very well. I have visited the other two cities and they seem much the same so I don't feel like looking for a new job (and given the market probably cannot) as people will likely still be as career focused.<p>I have tried to look for remote roles but those largely seem non-existent given my current stage. I've thought that I could try and stay at my current role till I qualify as a Senior Engineer as most remote jobs seem to want that, but I think I'll be pretty disappointed if I get there and can't get a remote job. I've generally thought before that the goal should be to enjoy the journey and not the destination but I'm not really enjoying the journey.<p>Lastly, I have considered startups as the work seems more interesting but I am not very interested in working 6 to 7 days a week. I'd be fine with long-hours Monday through Friday but even weekends (regularly) starts to feel like I am property of the company.<p>I am thinking of going back to school for a different profession since I do have decent savings at least.<p>Sorry for the wall of text.
