I hate to suggest this, but this a very naive question to come from a 40-year old. A job is a job. Most software jobs are just jobs. Even if you love it, it has all the pangs of any other job.
It’s a hyper competitive, saturated field, like everything else. Keep whatever advantage you have now, and ride it out. Life sucks, don’t try this.
- tucaz 5y agoYour comment can be read as being a little mean but I love it. I think anyone can ask any type of question but being in management consulting for so long should have allowed him to have a better idea of what it would like to make such a change.
- joelbluminator 5y agoNot sure why the downvoting. This is a very valid outlook, OP should at least consider there is some risk he is taking. Its a pretty ageist industry and his junior colleagues will be 2 decades younger, this could get demoralising. Its possible for sure but not easy and who knows if OP will be happy eventually. My gut says try finding some product managememt role that is a bit technical.
