What kind of work you were doing? I'm working in bank and most of my work is finding a bug in tens of thousands lines of logs and then fixing it. It's really slow not because it's hard to solve but because literally everything there is slow. New features consist mostly of integrations on systems so rest call and them data process. It was similarly dumb?

I used to do a similar job a few years back. Reading logs upon logs and reading code I didn't write. I was so depressed I eventually got fired. Now I earn a third less, but I design and code my systems from start to finish. It really makes a difference if you have a feeling that you did something of value at the end of the day.
