Title: Obviously a throwaway.<p>I&#x27;ve been doing tech for years (20+). I&#x27;ve been through the startup ringer. I&#x27;ve founded my own company (and exited, nothing real). I&#x27;ve dealt with all of it.  It just feels like everything is moving bits now - and the bits sometimes have new fun names, the systems change, the language changes, but it&#x27;s moving bits.  I&#x27;ve had a meaningful, impactful career - I&#x27;ve mentored, given back, done charity work too. I have gratitude, thankfulness, health, and religion. But I&#x27;m done. Whether it&#x27;s working on cool tech, or doing meaningful work like supporting freedom on country X.. I&#x27;m done.<p>I&#x27;m trying to figure out what else I can do with my life. What else is there that is middle-of-the-road salary-wise, like tech. I&#x27;m not looking for massive FAANG like salary replacement, stock, etc. But I am trying to figure out what else I can do that is in any way similar to the middle.<p>I think a lot of us think about this - I know that I have many conversations about it that others bring up. So I thought.. crowdsource? What does HN think?
