I did this some years ago myself and I want to say the only thing I miss is...agile working! Throw your tomatoes now.

It's fantastic to work in this field and very fulfilling but I consistently find the quality of teamwork and coordination to be much lacking compared to my engineering past. I wish I could sit down with a group of musicians and give them a bunch of Jira tickets to work on for the sprint before the upcoming rehearsal.

i've never met a great instrument player who needed jira for solo practice. tomato ** 100000, with a chorus of violins.

Practice isn't the issue, everyone loves to do that. It's more the mundane things like writing bios for social media, contacting venues, finalising lyrics etc.
