Quitting my job once I get 2 years of experience /u/ConvultedTetris CSCQ protests reddit

For context I am nearly at the 2 year mark as a software engineer and usually after 2 years you get offered a full time position rather then a 2 year contract which is what I’m on now.

But there’s a lot of reasons why I don’t want to continue:

• I’m really exhausted, my mental and physical state is also ruined due to having to commute 4 hours to get into the office and back home (I do it 3 days a week). Also I absolutely do not want to move to where I work because it’s a dump with nothing to do there while I also want to prioritise saving money and living at home in my home city. Unfortunately the company hasn’t provided any help in getting me a position in where I live (it’s the biggest city in my country) or offering me more of a flexible hybrid schedule despite me asking for months.

  • The second reason is I’ve had lots of personal problems arise due to my association with the company I work for and these problems have made me realize I absolutely don’t want to work in the industry I’m in and I want to work elsewhere

Anyways my train of thought is I want to leave as soon as the 2 years are done because I have been applying for interviews else where but I’m so exhausted I don’t have the time or energy to prepare for interviews at the technical stage. Not to mention when they hear I have to give a 3 month notice the tone of the interviewer changes quickly.

Keep in mind I do have a good amount of savings and I can live at home for free if I leave my job.
