I’ve been working in architecture for the past 15 years. My trajectory looks choppy: no more than 3 years in a single company (a lot of instability), and now unemployed. I’ve been applying to jobs like crazy, only to be offered junior roles. Now I’m surviving off software lessons. I don’t think this is going anywhere.

To be honest, I’m tired of this path I chose. The spark has gone. Long hours, horrible pay (way below other most-so demanding jobs) and a feeling of frustration than won’t go away. I feel like I’ve wasted my best years.

Deep down I want to change my life. But I feel too old to start over and too young to retire. My anxiety has gone through the roof this year and I feel completely lost. I want to find at least some purpose or drive in my life. I want to be useful and buy a home, but feels impossible

Have you changed careers in your late 30s? How is it going for you guys?

Any advice on this matter is very welcome. Help. Thank you.

Hola querida comunidad de ColombiaDevs. Quisiera que me comentaran sobre su camino y sus experiencias en el mundo del frontend (o backend/FS)

Se encuentran trabajando en Frontend ahora? Cuántos años de exp llevan haciendo este trabajo? O si han complementado o migrado a otras áreas?

Y sobre todo, como ha afectado la llegada de la IA a sus labores? Qué le podrían recomendar a alguien que se quiera iniciar en ese mundo, si lo ven viable o mejor enfocarse en otras profesiones?

Parecen muchas preguntas, en general es saber cómo ha sido su experiencia laboral con este tema

Saludos
