I'm in what I think will be my last tech job before retraining into something else. The aspects I like about the work are gone, I'm coasting at a small company that's not a great fit, has a visa cliff, and is poorly paid, and the steps it would take to become competitive in an LLM driven tech job market are less appealing to me than the steps it would take to switch over to a different career (likely in healthcare).

Good luck! I took the plunge last year and am just finishing up med school pre-requisites. I'd say at least 6/30 of my O Chem II class are former software engineers.

		Thank you! I'm still in a very exploratory phase about what exactly I mean by switching into healthcare. I don't have prereqs done at all, and my current plan is to enroll in a second bachelor's next year and start working through bio and chem courses. I'm looking at a bunch of different options from nursing to PA school to medical physics, and I think I really need to start shadowing people in different professions. Med school interests me, but I'm a woman in my late 20s who would like to have children, and if I started down the med school road now I wouldn't be done with training until my late 30s, where PA and nursing school don't have that problem. Medical physics is kind of in the middle.
