All while not giving up your life outside of work?</p> <p><figure><img class="my-0 rounded-md" loading="lazy" decoding="async" fetchpriority="low" alt="silly_desk" src="https://codex.org/assets/images/posts/2022-09-09-programmerdesk.jpg" ></figure> </p> <p>There is a large amount of emphasis that is put into how to search for and find a job as a software developer, site reliability engineer, and other tech positions. However, finding and landing a job are a very small part of a persons technical career. Rarely do we spend the time thinking or discussing how to manage the other aspects of a career in tech. And, by managing, I mean to take an active role in ensuring that you are looking out for yourself and not just the company. I am not saying that you should not do your best at work, but at the end of the day it is only a job.</p>
