Wow! Should I be the first to comment?.. I've already started. I'm the inverse of you! I got inspires to say this, like that guy who said he created the inverse of angry birds. Ten years ago I was in those boring computer science courses constantly falling asleep, being told that many will not make it to graduation, and seeing with my eyes burnt out students in last year of study. Slowly my decision was set, I dropped out and have studied whatever I wanted to know about for all these years. You can bet I know a lot about the world. But I only started to learn developing few years ago, and I'm much left behind compared to those who worked continuously. I tried to start over in a different careers many times in those years, and believe me, its harder. You need a break, to recover, maybe you lack knowledge about how the world works, or what the true face of employers is, but its cheaper to pay money to find that than to start all over. Be aware of working in teams, maybe you dont know what collectivism is, you might think communism as a name of the past, but it could be reincarnated into another leftist ideology. Take a break, you are ahead of many, and dont waste your savings.

Thanks for the advice. I think if I was more articulate I could have transitioned into a lead front end developer but due to my nature, plus English not being my first language I don't think this will happen. It's as though I am filling the role of lead and dev at the same time: delegating work to myself.

  For what it's worth, from your original post and comments, I couldn't tell that English isn't your first language. At least in written mediums, it seems you've got a firm grasp of the language. About the job, I'm not sure if the issue is the type of job, or more just the particular workplace and workload. Is it possible that the same position elsewhere wouldn't come with the same "constantly fighting fires" type of issues?

    I couldn't say for sure. I think the demands of agency work are probably greater and perhaps more stressful than those of a client based position. Due to working with many teams, unless you are really good at saying "no" and justifying it, then you may find yourself as a critical juncture for each team - as they all depend on you in some way to meet their deadlines.
