What has worked for me, YMMV: Cut back hours, I think this is the root cause of your issues. Next, try to find something else to do on weekends, go biking, gym, etc. Start learning a musical instrument that you don't know anything about. Challenge yourself. If coding is your hobby also (mine was / is), then even taking a side project that has nothing to do with you day job works nicely. Take some new language, explore some library / tool, build something with arduino or similar, even if it is "mobile app to flush your toilet"-kind of stupid. In my experience this can totally took thoughts way from work even if it is still "coding". And on a plus side, you can gain additional experience, learn about api design and so on. Also if looking for a job, I think it is better to try smaller players than hunt for big ones. Bigger companies usually have very idiotic hiring processes and it is easy to end up being a "factory worker" not someone who can have a say about things. Challenge yourself there too. I was a self-taught newbie PHP 3 and Delphi coder, applied for C++ job that I only have vague idea about, was accepted. Started developing for Lotus Notes from first day on the job instead. Didn't know it even existed before. Ended up as mainly Java dev a couple of years later in the same place... |
