I reached this point a lot earlier. After a few years out of college in software and making $250k in the Bay, I also felt "what I'm doing isn't worthwhile but everyone around me would kill to make this $ with the level of effort I do." Ultimately, I didn't get into computers to make the most money possible, I got into it because I found the original problems interesting and was astounded by the amount of impact they have on the world. Like going into college, I again chose to pursue interest, passion, and positive impact by leaving the high pay FAANG job and figuring out something else.
