Tech industry right now is honestly insane.
People outside think software engineers are just sitting in AC rooms earning easy money.
Reality:
- Developers are working full-time jobs
- Grinding LeetCode after office
- Learning AI tools at night
- Building side projects on weekends
- Upskilling constantly because tech changes every few months
- Competing with people from the entire world
And even after doing all this…
one bad interview can make someone question their entire career.
The pressure in tech is becoming unreal.
You are expected to:
- Be good at DSA
- Know system design
- Understand AI
- Build projects
- Have experience
- Be active on LinkedIn
- Stay updated daily
And somehow still maintain health, relationships and mental peace.
A lot of developers are not lazy anymore.
They are simply exhausted.
