Went through a similar phase about 15 years ago. Was burned out from IT. It was a struggle to get up to go to work everyday and I dreaded my job even though it was a great job. I finally built up enough to quit, move to another state, and find a job completely unrelated to IT. I loved it. I had a renewed energy and after about 2-3 years I started easing myself back in doing small consulting roles. After about 8 years I was ready to make the jump back. Haven't looked back since.

One note, during the entire time I was sure to keep up on emerging technologies, even if at just a high level. Made my jump back a little easier, however, I still had a slight learning curve.

Working in a service can be haunting experience. Long hours and yet it is often not appreciated by customers. I was in IT line too.. Know how you feel.

So what's the job that you have now ?
