Dude, I am like you. 44yo, working at a unicorn, most devs are younger than me, but my salary is higher. I had a good chat with the boss who is a good old pal, and we figured that I am a bad fit for ivory tower kind of work and that I have to go to professional services to feel happier.

Any thoughts on what "going to professional services" will look like for you? I'm highly motivated by customer engagement and direct influence.

What do you mean by professional services?

Being close to clients and money flows. I spent a year writing vaporware for imaginary use case, younger generation takes this as an opportunity to build up skills, but I can not stand it any longuer.
