27, 30+ LPA, Wfh - T2 city.
Lately, I’ve been feeling demotivated about continuing my journey in software development. It’s been a long road, but the spark that once fueled my passion seems to have faded. I even tried exploring other paths, like MBA prep and government job preparation, hoping to find a new direction. But neither of those worked out for me, leaving me at a crossroads.
Someone suggested moving to management (hence the MBA prep) but I’ve not even been a lead (mostly IC) - how will I handle management?
Government jobs were alluring (thought of prepping for RBI/SEBI) but didn’t go through as pay opportunities wouldn’t compare unless I’m grinding for 7 years.
Is it the T2 city, or that I’m missing the office culture? Idk it did feel better when I had discussions in a office over technical stuff.
Hoping to find clarity soon - how did you overcome your career rut?

Make hobby projects, take sometime off and go on a trip. Build a social circle if you don’t have any. 30+LPA with wfh is dream job of many.
Also figure out what brings you happiness if not coding and then take steps to improve that
Hobby projects, that’s a good idea - maybe doing some dev work for pure fun would be a good change. I’ve built up hobbies which do keep my mind and physical health on the safe side at-least.
