No one is claiming that any of the alternatives are better jobs than software engineering has been for the last 20 years.

We don't live in the last 20 years anymore and software engineering is either becoming a different (worse) job or simply vanishing.

But it’s necessary to get confirmation against the hope that the grass is indeed not greener on the other side.

If you don't like the grass where you are, maybe the question of whether it's really greener somewhere else doesn't matter.

Maybe you need to change pasture no matter what.

The software engineering grass is getting really brown really fast. The grass on the other side will be greener (not green, greener) soon.
