Ask HN: Burned out from tech, what else is there?

I’ve hit a point after working as a dev in SV for about 10 years where I just don’t feel interested in the space anymore. It’s almost impossible for me to motivate myself to care about whatever it is I’m doing at work, and I’m just irritated by people around me at work. I’ve switched companies a few times thinking that it was just environment, what the company was working on didn’t interest me, etc but always feel this same sense of dread after while at any place I go to which has made me think it’s time to move on to something else.

Has anyone transitioned out of being purely an engineer to something else and found more happiness? I’m ok with moving out of this area and not making as much money
