I am or actually was in a similar situation as you. I grew tired of developing software just for the sake to earn money (selling things, improving conversion rates, booking systems, etc.).

Eventually I ended up only applying for jobs which would enable me to work on something which actually could or will make a difference or I cared about. Was hired in the end (even found very few positions available in those spaces). You have to decide for yourself what things you care about to support and then find businesses or companies in that area which currently hire someone with your skill set. I admit there is a bit of luck involved, but should be possible if you are living not in the middle of nowhere or find remote positions.

Keep also in mind that this does not necessarily mean good pay (but should be decent at least) or a good company culture in the end. But I think this is the same risk you would take with any job.
