I try to balance and minimize harm.

I suggest that your best bet is incremental change.

Totally reskilling isn't realistic, but taking a series of jobs that move you closer to skill sets you want is.

Similarly, if there are types of work you would find inspiring, can you figure out what those companies are looking for, and move towards roles that would help you become that?

Working for a slightly more ethical company is a positive change. Stack up many small improvements, over the course of 5 years you might be surprised.

Thanks. I wasn't thinking of a total reskill, just starting to move in the right direction like you suggest. I'm just a bit concerned that the specific world of C#/Azure/Microservices limits my options.
