You usually can&#x27;t go from a lucrative career where you have a lot of experience to an unrelated career where you have no experience without taking a big paycut. If you need to maintain your salary, it&#x27;d be much, <i>much</i> easier to figure out how to fix your burnout.<p>Failing that, you can possibly maintain your salary with a lateral move to a role that deals with developers without doing any development directly - most likely product management. This move is most likely to be successful at the company you&#x27;re currently with, because they already know you - it&#x27;s harder to change companies <i>and</i> functional roles simultaneously without taking that salary reduction.
