5 years into IT consulting, wanting to get out.
I studied computer science, and then I got a job as a programmer at a IT consulting company. It was my first job. I've been in the business for almost 5 years now in two different companies. I'm not sure if it is the consulting or the corporate world, but I'm getting sick of it. The constant change of project, the stress, the deadlines, the mismanagement, the higher ranks blaming the lower ranks for their mistakes...
I actually got into computer science because of videogames, but I never actually got into videogame programming. Would like to though. I know the obvious answer is to get into videogame programming. But it is a difficult career to get into, and the industry is kind of a mess right now, with massive layoffs in recent years.
Videogames would be the dream job, but I just would like to do something that I enjoy to some extent. I'm not an ambitious person, so career paths and promotions just don't motivate me at all, and working with cero motivation is crushing me.
