I got into facilities management. I get to create / manage construction projects for my "company" from planning all the way to final acceptance. In my area, the whole industry is quite behind technologically. Using tech has helped me excel. I'm now ~7 years removed from active development and am finding it increasingly more difficult to find time to make a side project to show off while trying to raise a family. I miss development and keeping up with all the new stuff. It'd be hard for me to take the pay cut to return as a junior dev- so now I feel stuck.
