Hi,
I have been working as a Java/J2EE developer in an organization for almost 3 years now. I have been mostly coding in my tenure so far. Now I have reached a point where I dont feel like coding anymore and I also feel frustrated with the lifestyle of Software developers (late nights, no time for family etc). And on top of it my pay is bad and the recession also did not help me much to switch my job. Due to all this I am losing interest in my job. My performance has gone down and feel like quitting.
I have multiple thoughts in my mind at this moment :
- Should I continue working as a Software Developer and wait for a hike or a job switch when the economy improves ?
- Should I ask for a role change in the organization where I am working currently ?
- Should I quit my job and look out for an alternative profession ? I am not sure though which alternative profession would suit me.
I would request you to please advice me what should I do at this point of time.
Thanks a lot.
