What do you think you might do after coding? Management or a different field entirely? I've considered management but I also don't really want to deal with people bullshit, and I'm having a harder and harder time listening to bullshit business meetings in general, and I imagine there'd be a lot more of those.

something different. also maybe get back into academia somehow. i would take a 70% paycut to do some low key work where i don't need to deal with an office, and office politics.

Wow. I don't think I could easily afford a 70% paycut. 20% maybe, but 70% is a pretty deep cut. Good on you for being in a situation where that's a viable option!
