Hi, I’m 27 years old and I’m a software developer at a particularly toxic family-run software company, and I absolutely want to make a change.

I’m also trying to graduate. I’m halfway through and I think it’ll take me several more years.

My goals, which are mutually exclusive, are to earn enough to move out on my own, graduate, and travel the world since I’ve barely left my hometown and I’m almost 30. My past life choices have led me to not being the person I wish I was

My concerns are:

• Should I look for a part-time job so I can have more time to study even though I’m close to being 30?

• Should I look for a remote job so I can travel in the meantime?

• Should I join a consulting firm (e.g. Accenture) to expand my skills since they’re very demanding, or should I join a firm focused on a single product to continue on the knowledge I have (.Net) even if it’s not very specialized?

I’d be very grateful to anyone who can guide me…
