Hey there,


Corporate tech jobs are officially a dead end.


I’ve been fighting this truth for the past two months. But after coaching over 120 software professionals, it’s clear:


Our industry has permanently changed—and not to the benefit of employees.


I’m not saying this to scare you, but to urge you to take at least one action this year to be less dependent on companies.


My latest episode on YouTube blew up, as I shared some harsh truths of the industry, and my new direction for helping you deal with it.


After coaching over 120 software professionals, one of the biggest things I've learned is this: Most people are stuck in jobs actively holding them back.


You CAN keep growing in tech—but companies won’t help you. They’re too busy making knee-jerk decisions, reacting to AI, cutting costs, and scrambling like an angry child facing an uncertain future.


And therein lies a new opportunity for technologists like us.


If you’re ready to take more responsibility—and give up the delusion that corporate employment is a long-term strategy—it’s easier than ever to start working for yourself.


But you must choose to tear off your corporate shackles and step into the unknown! On the other side lies work you can be proud of again—and actually control.


Gather your courage,

Jayme
