So, when I was growing up I was told the usual things a kid is told about what jobs exists. Police, fireman, astronaut, teacher, etc. But no one ever told me about the weird jobs that are out there. Professional smeller (for perfumes and things), professional bridesemaid, hollywood creature FX makeup artist, etc.
I’ve been a Software Engineer for 9 years now. I started out my first 4 years at Amazon where I learned a lot. Then I went to a small startup of only four people for 2 years. My latest job was a medium startup in the medical space working on Dialysis machine software. I specialize in cloud based backend systems, but open to other things.
I was recently laid off in a mass layoff at the company, and the job search has got me thinking: What weird jobs are there for Software Engineer? Anyone work somewhere you feel is off the wall, or just not talked about? Obviously there are places like Space-X and Amazon where you can work on satellites, which fits this discussion.
What else is out there? What COULD I be looking at, if I just knew it existed?
