I'm a software dev and i've been working corporate america for a decade and i hate it. i hate every second of every day. i've tried applying for non profits and government jobs and the entire job market is total balls. i've been trying to find something else for half a year and 100+ job applications.

I want to do something menial like project management. Something sitting at a desk. Something that isn't very mentally straining like the software engineering I'm doing now.

I want to work with cool people.

I want to work in an environment where I don't have to justify breathing the oxygen in their office.

I want to have a nice boss.

I don't care if the pay is shit.

How can i find something like this? How does one approach a job search if what you care about most is cool coworkers and doesn't care at all what the job is (aside from it being a desk job) or how much it pays?

    I'm in pretty much the same position, I was looking into changing companies cause the one I work for is not ideal but I get so overwhelmed with thinking about my future that it's hard to know what to do. Plus I've developed pretty much no skills in my time at my company so I'm not a very attractive hire. But if I was hired then idk how I'd like the job and if I'd like any of the people around me. I'm just thinking I should avoid tech entirely because it seems to be made up of so many freaks.
