Yup, I felt similar just 6 months ago. I quit my job and changed what I did and love it. I went from being an engineering manager to being an engineering consultant working in entirely different lines of business.

The skills are the same, the pay is slightly better, but the work is more rewarding for me right now.

When I had my last job it didn't seem that bad while I was there. I didn't enjoy it, I felt useless, but I kept going. I kept expecting things to change or to get better. They didn't.

It turned out the job just wasn't for me. I also work remote now as I had in the past for several years running my own business.

Maybe it's not you, maybe it's where you work or what you work on.
