Ask HN: Quitting in a month, what to do next?
hey folks, I'm going to quit my current job end of this month and I'm not sure what to do next.
I have a couple of options:
1.Full-time Open Source Developer - I've been following projects like Moby (Docker), Kubernetes & CNCF friends, Redox, Blender for a while now and am familiar with their codebase but haven't had the chance to contribute. I am not sure how this'll pay me though.
2. Join one of the big software companies - I have a few offers at hand but am not sure if I'd enjoy any of those. The pay is really good but the work probably isn't going to be satisfactory. I cannot discuss the offers here because of NDAs.
3. Wild Projects - Twitch streaming my programming experiences, tech podcasts, etc. I think this'll go well with Developer Advocate / Tech Evangelist roles and I've been wanting to do this for a while but I'm not sure how to start and if they pay as much as pure software engineering roles.
Hope the HN community will help me out. 4. Build your own product/service and market it. Could dovetail nicely into #3 and #1. How entrepreneurial are you?
