I have been a Hardware Engineer for the past decade or so. After jumping around a bit this year I got an easy job just so that I can practice coding at work. Go figure. I realized that I have nothing more to do with schematics and PCBs and made a decision one fine day on a leap of faith. Haven't looked back. By the end of this year I hope to start solving Leetcode medium to hard and go through the riggamarole of coding interviews. Long story all of us go through the "developer" burnout. How we deal with it is whats important. In my case my spouse has been super helpful and I have family commitments which are a major source of motivation for me pivot careers midlife and purse something that I have developed passion for just recently. Maybe you should try a different field all together. Art, woodworking,machine shop might not pay you well and benifits suck but could very well get your motivation back. Good Luck!

After a few weeks or months, I ended up drawing AutoCAD plans in the 1st one, and I started developing an interface for a database of green spaces of the local government in the 2nd; so each time it was not long before I was back in an office in front of a computer :-/ Some of us are leopards who cannot change their spot...
