It seems your perspective on the industry has been built over the hype of "Software will eat the world". Aell, I'm not discussing whether this is true or not but just remember that building software is about building automation and experience. What I mean is that you must look for a company that enables or offers leverage to an existing company or industry. What it will provide you is the understanding that software is not the beginning and end of all things. It's a tool. A very valuable one, but still a tool. And then, you will leave the vicious circle of hype and software centrism and maybe you will land in a much less fancy, much more interesting, software project in which you can commit for a longer term and actually feel like you have an impact. FYI: it feels good.
