Lost interest in coding & tech after joining Infosys

Side projects and hobbies that once brought joy now seem like monumental tasks. The energy to code for fun is gone, replaced by a numbness that Instagram barely alleviates.

I was drawn to it to be doing something that’s helpful for others, something fun, a hard challenge or impactful.

But the best opportunities have landed me in soul-less projects. No impact, no appreciation, no engaging challenge. Just a cog in the machine.

Life goes by in the 1030 - 8. Barely making the money to give back to my family and save up to get married. I can’t afford posh restaurants, have no time for hobbies or sports.

Feels like I am getting nothing in life. No money, no meaning, no fun, no passion, no societal status.

I understand where you come from. Meaningful work is really important to me. Switching out or pursuing an MBA are both better choices than staying where you are imo
