I wish I could say I figured this out, but I haven't. While not exactly your same situation, most of those points hit home for me.

I think it's really good that you are realizing this now in your career, rather than toughing it out for a decade or more (like me).

Have you considered maybe software engineering isn't the right career for you? Perhaps you would find more meaning in another profession.

I have started to think about that. The thing is, I genuinely do love working on fun side projects and coding. Just when it's something interesting or affects people or a cause.
