I am currently working in intellectual property and it sucks major ass. Looking into going into tech for a 9-5 low stress job that won't make me want to kms; do those exist? Especially tech jobs slated for people with engineering degrees. Thanks!

    Try maybe getting into product management or some other bullshit middle manager job. I think they might like people working in IP.

    Tech firms are tightening up their hiring though so your results may vary.

      yeah I've heard that IP is transferable to product management with a heavy amount of finessing. But product management sounds pretty soul-sucking though...

        Middle management is largely bullshit, but bullshit is not the same as low-effort. Graeber saws that corporate lawyers tend to identify their jobs as bullshit, but their subcategory is goons. The only reason a corporation needs an army of lawyers is to defend against other corporations’ armies of lawyers. There’s still plenty of work to be done. It’s just not work that’s fundamental to the functioning of society
