You could try it with some development support work, doing customer tickets. At times there is complexity but you have real people asking for help and usually a limited scope. It is a (nowadays rather small) part of my job and it often gives me that kind of satisfaction you are alluding to.

It’s funny I actually initially got into tech from parlaying a food service job into a customer service one at a software company.

You’re definitely right that it has more direct problem-solving satisfaction than a lot of other software adjacent tasks.
