I've been struggling with my job situation for a while now. I clearly need to move to something new, but *what*?. Often, dev work is "b2b database + website", which I can do well, but don't really enjoy. What I like (games/graphics type stuff) is rare and likely in a volatile industry or underpaid. On top of that, I'm having a hard time gauging companies, a lot of them that I've seen so far still require at least *some* days in the office which greatly limits my options, and there's always the specter of "do I have to deal with genAI there". And while doing freelance work may very well solve a lot of the job satisfaction aspects, I barely have any reach and am terrible at networking, so I suspect I simply won't get any work that way either. I feel utterly stuck and I don't know how to move to a better situation, what the heck do I do?!
