Ask HN: In need of career and life advice

I'm a C/C++ application developer from India currently maintaining a legacy codebase. After a few years in this role, I feel stuck and unfulfilled with few opportunities to grow. This isn't just affecting my professional life - I'm at a crossroads and feeling lost about my direction both in my career and life overall.

  - Should I learn Rust? But there seem to be fewer open positions comparatively.
  - How can I find remote work opportunities since C++ has limited remote positions?
  - Is grinding LeetCode worth it for FAANG opportunities?
  - Should I pivot to web development?
  - What other career paths should I consider?
  - How do I break out of this stagnation?
I'm looking for guidance from someone with more wisdom and life experience than me. Thanks in advance.
