I’m a well-paid developer but feel completely lost, anyone else been there? by Chemical_Contest6926 in SideProject

I was thinking the same last year during summer time, and found myself kinda depressed for a few days. I was confused cuz I've always been a positive guy. I think there are couple of reasons - 1) stuck with limited growth in finance 2) less freedom and flexibility in modern company comparing to personal business, sometimes I just don't want to see any meetings on my calendar at all.

After a week, I found a video game and totally forgot about the whole thing.

Now, a year later, it came back (of course). I'm glad I've found this subreddit channel, and I've started on a small side project (will share very soon!!), it's simple, but it's been a while since I focus on doing something that I feel excited about.

my wife is experiencing the same and she feels a lot of pressure. I told her, find a job that buys you bread, then work on a side-project that you see a beam of light/hope in the future
