Yep. I even went as far as getting my real estate license. Getting a peek into another field makes you quickly appreciate how good we have it and I readjusted to try to focus on what I really love doing in this field. It turns out, I like teaching and helping people work together more effectively so I've gotten into consulting over the last couple of years. Really enjoying it so far too. I get to work with a wide variety of people, look into how companies are operating to diagnose pain points, areas of inefficiency between teams, bottlenecks and help to solve them. I help with DMARC deployments because so many companies still haven't rolled that out properly yet. I assist dev teams with fixing application and database performance issues too. If asked I also teach official training courses on Gitlab or Scaled Agile Framework. Essentially, I help with the areas where I have a deep amount of experience and try to make sure people at the company know how to make sure the problems don't come back long term. For somebody like me who deep dives into everything before moving onto the next problem, it's nice to be able to share with more people. I get the most enjoyment from helping to improve the management structure for developers though. In many cases it's very unbalanced.
