First, the market sucks at the moment but there’s no reason the money will dry up for you. Keep your skills up, practice for the interviews and you’ll be good.
Don’t get into this mindset that it’s too late to do something worth doing. The only time it’s too late is when you’re dead. Do you really wanna go through life with this kind of self-pity? Who the heck cares if could’ve done something different earlier? You already spent those life years and you ain’t getting them back. The only way is forward.
If you were good enough to get a well paying job, you’re definitely good enough to grind till you get where you want to be.
My next piece of advice is to stop thinking you’ll be able to save enough to quit and do something else. You won’t. The situation will never be ideal and you’ll just have to commit and do it.
Sure build some cushion, ideally use the money you save to generate you some income (e.g., buy a rental property), but you’ll still have to make the jump.
The only way you’ll make it is by believing you can do it in the first place.
