I don't like my job (yiffit.net)

Not just my job, but the entire industry I'm in. I get paid really well, and I like some of the fine details, but overall I don't like it. My skill-set isn't very transferable either.

I understand the feeling. Are you tired of the field overall or just the hardware part of it?

I did QA for 5 years, which I'm grateful for but sucks a bunch. I tried to do pure software dev, it's not for me. Then I came back to firmware, but since I wasn't in the game for almost 7 years, I had to re-learn and live with the imposter syndrome for a while. I kinda kept coding during these years, but I had to convince others I could code.

Not sure where I am going with this. I understand how you feel, and I hope you'll find something that is better for you.

Feeling stuck is not fun.
