Stay in it anyway because you want a 75% pay cut even less. Only put in 40 hours. Enjoy the rest of your life outside of work.
That’s my solution, anyway. Though, I actually love tech itself, it’s the people and processes I hate, so changing industries isn’t actually a solution.

Yeah writer doesn’t mention money anywhere there, that’s the real trap. All of those sound nice but I have rent to pay.
This isn’t leaving tech… it’s leaving corporate employment.
Still great options, but I was expecting something more like: pivot to a different role in your existing company and then find another non-corporate use for those skills, or get your apprenticeship in the trades, or become a bus driver.
I would argue the title implies “leaving the tech industry”, and in the beginning it says the article is for who wants to still work with the same skillset, but outside of the tech industry as in the companies who produce technology for profit. Probably only the tech co-op part can be said to be still within the tech industry

The idea of co-op sounds interesting.
