The advise here to think about what brings you joy and how to do more of that next is solid.

Short term, I think you have an another opportunity: to negotiate an exit with your manager.

Sounds like your in the age and comp range where the company has to be careful about how you’re removed. And you might be able to leverage that to negotiate an exit that satisfies everyone.

Setup a face to face with your boss and lay out the facts professionally. Then, ask for six months salary (or whatever you want) in exchange for resigning and releasing the company.

Obviously your specific requests will be up to what you want.

If you’re not a confrontational person by nature, consider this a wonderful real life learning opportunity to navigate and develop that skill. And hopefully get something that you want — even if it’s just a softer landing between roles.
