Those who quit tech, moved back home, what do you do?


Especially those who quit tech and went back from western countries to their (non-western) homeland, what do you do now? Are you happier than before? What are the reasons you left?

I quit software, though I never made it very far in it it was my profession for 16 years. I'm a corrections officer now. My new career is drastically less stressful.

I didn't exactly quit tech: I quit big tech and moved back home. Now I freelance, and I'm happier than I've ever been.

There's a certain joy to being with family in an environment everyone is familiar with and has a history in, which no kind of emigration can replicate.
