I went from building products to consulting on building products. I still do software dev for some clients (if they are willing to pay enough to make my hatred of it worth it), but I have found this more freeing, plus I make more money, and get to use my brain more on the theoretical and experimental side which is fun.
Most of my clients are pre-rev/pre-money/broke, but the higher priced development work I do, offsets that.
I've also been dabbling in writing, and hiring writers to write for me.
BUT find a hobby that is outside of software development. I do hiking, photography, wood working, and writing. Maybe that will give you something to look forward to after work.
- rajeshp1986 9y agoI tried outside hobbies to get my attention to something else and still did not feel better. The problem is generally your work takes most of your time and if you are unsatisfied at your work then it is not possible to compensate it outside. I pledged myself to fix my problems and unless I am happy and content at work, I am not able to enjoy hobbies outside.
