That

That's it. I want to leave frontend development but have no clue where to go because the job market is now cooked, as we already know. So, a bit of context: I was laid off recently after a PIP they even told me I passed. Yep, makes 0 sense. It wasn't a big surprise to be honest, because when all this started I was suspicious. So yep, I received good feedback and a formal notice that I passed but then shit happened and here I am. It was a good place to work, with overall good people, a nice project, nice perks... Everything was fine, really. But apart from the PIP, I realized I wasn't 100% happy there. I always thought this feeling was because of the bad culture and some people that I didn't like working with, but after being in a "good place" I realized it's just this performative work culture with all the nonsense, dark scrum and endless meetings that I didn't like. That's why I'm considering leaving frontend, and that's why I'm also not considering moving to backend or anything that is inside a scrum team. Yes guys, I have SPTSD (SCRUM Post-traumatic stress disorder), as almost all the Agile Manifesto writers may have. And yes, I know there are also places where they don't do dark scrum and all that, but seriously, I want to consider something different. Something more stable, in terms of work and technology. So here I am, asking you guys: if you've been in a similar spot, where did you go? Doesn't have to be tech-adjacent, I'm open to anything, but if I'm asking here its because I want to consider tech jobs first. Bonus points if it involves less performative culture and more actual, measurable work. And yes, I already considered becoming an electrician, or buying some chickens, but I don't have room for chickens (it's a joke). Btw, I'm based in an EU country, just in case it's relevant for opportunities or suggestions. Edit: Quick career context: I started as a full-stack dev with Java, but that was early on and I barely remember anything. I also spent 6 months on a data team. So I've tried backend, I'd just prefer not to, but I'd consider going full-stack again if I need to pay the bills. Not looking for dev roles specifically though, just to be clear.
