Before radically changing your career can you remember why you got into software development in the first place? Was it something beyond mere utility? Many of us got into software because we were fascinated with how computers work and wanted to divine the depths of that mystery. Perhaps you can rediscover that and find more lasting fulfillment. This might lead you to a place you hadn't considered. For instance perhaps a specialization of software engineering like data engineering, crypto, quantum computing etc all might reignite that excitement for you. Good luck!
