What part of tech are you in? Maybe you're burnt out on that niche's particular subculture, not tech in general. For example:

Tired of 10-person startups? Move to a bigger company.

Tired by the constant churn in front-end libraries? Move down the stack and work on server software.

I tried that! It works well to a certain extent but, obviously, it's not completely life-changing. I used to be a full-stack free-lance web-dev and later I was involved in a startup. I was bothered by how difficult it is, sometimes, to deal with non-technical people (clients, non-technical co-founders, etc). I moved to a larger company where I am part of a team of engineers and I have a boss who is a former software developer. We don't have to deal directly with clients, other managers or final users. I feel much happier now.
