For me personally, the field as of computing is very exciting. But the CS jobs are very unsatisfying after you've been around for a while. Used to think academia might be different, but I've read enough cries to understand it might not be all rosy there as well.

I've come to the realization that when you take up a salaried job, you're exchanging your time for money. If it satisfies you're lucky. Otherwise, do the essential minimum at your job and then outside your work hours

a) Find alternate ways to seek fulfilment to lead a balanced life(a sport, something creative etc.)

b) If you're motivated enough find alternate career avenues / start your own venture

If you've enough savings you could quit too, without having to put up with job. But that's a privilege very few can afford
