but another option is to do Wordpress sites

I am not sure I want to get into wordpress/drupal etc, unless I am left no other choice. I am looking into doing data analysis type of work, as I am better at it than fighting with CSS :)

Have you considered getting into the product side?

Yes, this is one thing I can confidently say I am good at. My own product manager asks me for advice all the time. I am just not sure how to transition

Could you ask your product manager for advice, or would that raise red flags?

You feel very stuck right now, I can tell because as a developer you're always learning. And you can learn how to make the transition into product manager. You can absolutely figure this out! :) You will have a job in 6 months (maybe sooner) on the product side as soon as you go for it.

In fact, there is a very active discussion on hacker news right now about this, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18823616

HTML/CSS front-end work, and design/graphics, is easier to outsource than back-end programming and database work. I don’t do design or elaborate front-end work myself because I can hire people to do it at one-fourth my rate.
