If there is anything I hate in life more than XCode is not organizing work!

A feature done few months ago on mobile, tested, passed QA and now it is not working! Why? Because API got screwed!! Why? Because someone is changing the core of the system without notifying anyone!!

Both API and that feature were not touched in months and suddenly stopped working and guess who is blamed, damn right me and the API dev when non of us even made a change -.-

Quitting dev job after 3 months (8 YOE) – thinking of switching to BA/PO. Anyone else been there?

Just passed the 3-month probation at a mobile dev job in a bank—and I’m already planning to quit either tomorrow or Monday.

It took me 5 months to land this job, I’ve spent 3 months working here, and I only need 3 more to qualify for a mortgage (which was the original plan). But I just can’t do this anymore. I’m drowning in endless technical churn every day.

Last week broke me: I was moved without notice to a completely different team and domain, with a massive proprietary codebase, zero onboarding, and totally unreasonable deadlines—in other words, unpaid overtime is just expected. I was hired at mid-level pay but expected to produce senior-level results like someone who’s been here for years. I honestly don’t know how even neurotypicals would cope with this chaos.

I have a bachelor’s degree, 8 years of experience, and usually stick it out at least a year—even in shitty jobs. But this? Either I’m too old for this shit, or taking this role was just a mistake. My ADHD brain is fried. I’ve never felt this anxious, foggy, and burnt out—and it happened fast.

The guilt of quitting this quickly and going back to the grind of interviews and memorizing trivia is eating me alive. But I’m falling apart, and at this point, I feel like I have no other choice.

I’m also thinking of switching to a BA/PO role. I’m actually good at organizing chaos, writing documentation, and talking to people—without wanting to hide under a rock.

Has anyone else with made the jump from dev to BA/PO? Did it help? Would love to hear your experience.
