Tech is for everyone.
Regardless of what you did before, you have a place here.
There is no shortage of roles, there are plenty.
Tech is for everyone.

Psychological safety is a real thing.
Where everyone is allowed to voice out things and ideas without getting scared and without getting shutdown.

Today someone from a well-known Canadian investment firm called me
They told me theyβd like to help me plan my retirement and help with financial planning
Help me optimize and reduce taxes during retirement
Suggested this investment planning was free if I moved everything I have to them
Went on about all the benefits of working with them
Asked me if Iβd be available next week for a quick 1 hour meeting with the team
After listening to them I told them no itβs okay.
I told them I get my investing and financial advice from Reddit and specifically r/wallstreetbets
There was a long-ish pause
βOkay, good luck sir, have a nice dayβ

I'm 38.
At this point of my life/career, I have so many friends working corporate W2 jobs making $200-400K/year (mostly in NYC/NJ/PA corridor) who just don't actually work that much.
One friend makes $250K as a manager at a biotech... all he does is send pictures of his chicken coop or other DIY projects all day during the week.. no idea what value he actually provides his company.
Then there's my "jiggler" friend who you might recall... guy makes $250-300K and just plugs a "mouse jiggler" into his laptop and just goes to the gym, homeschools his kids, tans, does yard work... all day. I ask him what he does and he can't even articulate it...
Another friend makes $150K at a remote startup and just travels around the world all the time... don't ask don't tell situation on where people are at any given time... but does seemingly little actual work.. maybe 1 hour a day.
This is truly what's going on out there... BS W2 jobs all over the place. And AI is a bubble?
Really?

The forward deployed engineer hype is really marketing disguising the fact that you'll be a solutions engineer/architect tasked with providing outcomes while working in real prod environments with the huge risk/reality of causing outages. while also being responsible for recurring revenue.
