To retire or change my job. If you want to get into IT, never become a sysadmin if you don't absolutely love your job. I'm overqualified and with every day I do sneaker admin stuff, I stray further from the actual prestigious software engineering job I wanted in the first place.

I moved from IT to software engineering. My deepest desire is also to retire or change my job. lol

Honestly, I just want to work on whatever I want to work on. I'm so tired of building other peoples' bullshit. I miss enjoying this work.

Grass is always greener on the retirement side.

Same, same.
