Thanks for the advice!

I have actually thought about changing my line of work, but whenever I find something interesting about software dev, I just can't see myself doing anything else.

Part of the frustration I feel, I think, has to do with not being able to do something that actually adds value to the business, and in general feeling like my position is just useless, not necessarily the line of work per se.

I've been doing software dev for more than 15 years an I've loved pretty much every minute of it, so even though I'm definitely interested in other things, like cooking, I just don't see myself doing that for a living.

Also, funnily enough, the company I work for has a really interesting mission, it's just that my position in particular feels pointless and directionless, and the management team doesn't seem to care or know how to fix that.
