Ask HN: Anyone pivoted from SWE/mgmt to a different career in your 30/40s+?

2 weeks ago 1

Having been coding for nearly 25 years now and being in engineering management for the past couple of years (still actively coding 30-50% of my time), I'm feeling increasingly tired of tech. Software development, more specifically. I'm quite capable of both producing software myself _and_ managing teams producing software.

Have you pivoted from software engineering/engineering management into a different career altogether in your 30s, 40s or beyond? I'm keen to hear your story, and perhaps glean some ideas/suggestions.

I'm more than happy to go back to school or do training courses part-time to learn whatever I need to.
