Summary

I鈥檝e hit a point after working as a dev in SV for about 10 years where I just don鈥檛 feel interested in the space anymore. It鈥檚 almost impossible for me to motivate myself to care about whatever it is I鈥檓 doing at work, and I鈥檓 just irritated by people around me at work. I鈥檝e switched companies a few times thinking that it was just environment, what the company was working on didn鈥檛 interest me, etc but always feel this same sense of dread after while at any place I go to which has made me think it鈥檚 time to move on to something else.Has anyone transitioned out of being purely an engineer to something else and found more happiness? I鈥檓 ok with moving out of this area and not making as much money
