My man! I feel you. I burned out a while back. I'd made some bad choices, and I was really sick of coding. It was that way for several years, at least 5.

I turned to sales engineering. A few years ago I noticed that I'd gotten better at socializing and social interaction, and, more importantly, at the end of a day where I spent a lot of time with people, rather than my computer, I felt more energetic.

As a sales engineer you can make a similar salary and leverage all of your skills and your abilities. What do you think?
