WFH is only good if you are a lower level employee. As an entry level IT wagie I probably take 50 calls a day to help old retards and niggers operate their PC for $20/hr. My WFH experience has been more work than from the office as employers now remotely monitor us. Getting pretty close to my cash out stack though so there is hope on the horizon. Cheers, hope your thread is comfy.

Had to call in today, I just can't take it anymore. I came home yesterday and just sat in my bed trying to think of a way out.
There are those programming threads but everything seems like outsourced pajeet work. I went to college & did internships, worked full time during my last semester, and I still make a shit salary AT A FUCKING OFFICE WHERE I WEAR A MASK ALL DAY LONG.
How can I get out of engineering? Do finance or maybe IT companies actually want engineering majors or is that a meme? The tragic part is I'm 2 years out of school so I don't seem as malleable as a fresh grad (bullshit)

Yep. I'm a manufacturer rep now, but most people hop on with a distributor (either as a sales associate, inside sales rep, or if you're already good at talking you might be able to work your way into a distro outside rep position off the bat) to gain sales experience then head off to a manufacturer sale position for like double the pay. That being said, there's some good money to be made in distribution for at least a few years (it gets progressively harder because they set your targets compared to the previous year- ypu bist your ass and get 25% growth one year? Great, now you have to do it again next year PLUS whatever target they put on top of it). Pay as a distro rep is generallu between 70-100k at target, but like I said you can make well above target if you are good at it (my first month off guarantee I got a $13k bonus; the next month I made a $20k quarterly bonus- both pure luck).
On the manufacturing side now I make about a buck fifty at target.

Good luck with it, brother. If I could do it without further doxxing myself I'd offer to pass your resume along, but them's the brakes. I don't think it would be off topic here to give or request interview advice, so post up here if you get any traction and if I see it I can talk you through the process.
My quick and easy advice is to think of the interview process as making a sales call itself- but you're the product. Read up on some of the steps used in formal sales trainings (they're mostly bullshit, but it can help show the hiring manager that you at least speak the language), and NO MATTER WHAT don't forget to close the interview- ASK FOR THE SALE. It can be as simple as waiting until the "Do you have any questions" part then say "Well, based on my history of success and the repoir we've developed over the course of the interview, do you think I'd be a good fit?"

I'm a software engineer that actually has to do some level of thinking or work from home to persist, but am considering getting something way below me for the comfiness.

As long as it is work from anywhere (e.g. southeast asia), is trivial in terms of time requirements, and pays like $2k+/month, I wouldn't mind leaving $170k/year

That's the best way to be. In my experience the truly outgoing people can get caught up in the "people" part of the business and forget to actually make money. Also, in lab sales your entire customer base are fucking nerds so it helps to not fit the same archetype as the dude who's been giving them wedgies and shit their entire life.
