I have similar feelings about tech job boards and politely decline any offers I get from recruiters. My job is technically interesting, but not meaningful. Pays enough to take the money issue off the table. I would not quit tech altogether, but strive to teach/coach/mentor someone (tech or not), while working at a small shop that does not rely on venture capital. I find smaller companies more fun and I'm happy to have escaped from the golden cage of a large corporate before. Same for working at a small startup, fighting for a profitable exit. My advice: find a nice boss and nice colleagues, be loyal and make sure you have agency over how stuff is done. And watch over your boss so she doesn't get replaced by a brain dead manager while your company grows.
