Curious to where people's careers ended up. Did you stay a dev or move to a different role?

    Still a dev after 4.5 years. I don't really know what i want to do, and dev work pays pretty well for not having a lot of hours. I'm also improving a lot over the past year, so I'm going to keep saving money and keep at it until I reach a level where I can "always" fall back on it.

    I think maybe a technical sales role could be good. Can interact with people more (I'm social and don't totally look like a developer).

    I stay as a dev, and I'll probably die as one. Love every minute I spent to learn and improve my coding skills.
