Least stressful industries for Software Engineers to work in
I have 1.5 YOE, currently working as a backend developer and the stress is through the roof, it is affecting my health. My team has very rigid deadlines, sometimes I get asked to work extra hours in the evenings and weekends to finish some high priority tasks. We have on-call support rotation that lasts a week and we get paged often, at least 2 times a day, which is affecting my sleep quality. The only good thing about this job is that I am paid nicely. I’m looking for a switch, but I want to avoid ending up in a similar role. What industries wouldn’t expect developers to do on-call? I would prefer something a bit more slow paced as well. Are there such industries/companies where I can apply to? Thanks!
