It feels like there's no space for creative people in tech anymore. Everything is either a wormhole which sucks the creative energy out of you, or you end up working a job that's so taxing on you mentally that you never have the space take on hobbies or follow your passions.
Getting jobs themselves is a challenge. People see creativity is such a uni-dimensional manner that it is hard to get jobs in startups or otherwise. I've been attempting a job switch for a while now either there are no openings or no one is willing to hire.
Is there a solution to this madness?
