hey folks, I'm going to quit my current job end of this month and I'm not sure what to do next.

I have a couple of options:

1.Full-time Open Source Developer - I've been following projects like Moby (Docker), Kubernetes & CNCF friends, Redox, Blender for a while now and am familiar with their codebase but haven't had the chance to contribute. I am not sure how this'll pay me though.

2. Join one of the big software companies - I have a few offers at hand but am not sure if I'd enjoy any of those. The pay is really good but the work probably isn't going to be satisfactory. I cannot discuss the offers here because of NDAs.

3. Wild Projects - Twitch streaming my programming experiences, tech podcasts, etc. I think this'll go well with Developer Advocate / Tech Evangelist roles and I've been wanting to do this for a while but I'm not sure how to start and if they pay as much as pure software engineering roles.

Hope the HN community will help me out.

I'll list down some of the futuristic companies I'm excited about: - https://kernel.co/ - https://www.ff.com/

I actually want to understand the chip manufacturing process - design, prototyping (using FPGAs, etc), baking process in foundries. And also at least a basic understanding of how IP is managed in chip industry - like "IP core" is a term that I frequently hear but due to the myriad interpretations available online, I don't really understand what an "IP core" really means. Hoping to get useful advice from veterans in the chip industry.
