Maybe look at hard tech companies?

There are plenty of teams out there that even modest software skills would dramatically improve!

As was previously mentioned, consider your other interests and strengths (even outside of CS). What companies would benefit from those skills and motivation?

Academia has a completely different framework for dividing folks up by teaching discipline rather than job occupation. You'd be surprised how your existing might fit a job role that isn't traditionally a direct fit from CS discipline.

For example, in operational roles, organization and communication skills are impactful, or business process analyst type stuff, where understanding systems and how sw tools are built around them could be a good place to start.

Hopefully this is helpful!

Ps hang in there, we all find our way!
