&lt;p&gt;Some developer pivoted to real estate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, poulsbohemian on HN, switched to selling real estate after 20 years in software development.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&#34;product-management&#34;&gt;Product Management&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Product management seems an easy pivot for many software developers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&#34;leadership-roles&#34;&gt;Leadership Roles&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some developers switched to leadership roles and started to climb corporate ladder. These roles represent different challenges &amp;amp; skill set and opportunity to keep learning and avoid boredom.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;As a developer, I am lucky that I get to work from home as needed. But I have never been 100% remote; lately, I have been reading a lot about working remotely, remote first companies, digital nomad lifestyle etc. These are some resources that I have found useful so far:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://zapier.com/learn/the-ultimate-guide-to-remote-working/&#34;&gt;The Ultimate Guide to Working Remotely&lt;/a&gt; - I haven&amp;rsquo;t gone through the whole guide yet but so far it has been very informative.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
