The author has decided to step away from the tech industry, quitting both their job and the continuous cycle of job applications. This decision stems from a decade of instability in the tech sector, primarily experienced while working with start-ups. The process of job applications became a compulsive habit, leading to feelings of uncertainty about how to utilize newfound free time. By reflecting on the quick hiring practices of start-ups, the author highlights the contrasting nature of the job application experience and the stress it brought to their life.
...applying for jobs became a habit, and now that I am not looking, I was at a loss for what to do with myself with my new spare time.
What this meant is that I not only quit my decent-paying tech job, but I have also quit applying for new jobs.
It's simply a response to the instability of the industry I have faced in the last decade making an intentional choice working for tech start-ups.
Start-ups hire quick, which was one of their initial advantages and why a professional would consider working at start-ups.
