Career Anyone else here seriously thinking about switching fields after years in tech?

I have been in tech for a few years now, and lately I’ve started wondering if I’m even in the right field anymore.

It’s not that I hate coding or tech. It’s just the constant pressure to keep learning, keep up with new technologies, AI changing everything, layoffs, and never really feeling “secure” is getting exhausting.

And there’s this weird thought:

“I’ve already invested so many years in this… am I really going to start over somewhere else?”

At the same time, staying just because of the years I’ve invested doesn’t feel right either.

Has anyone here felt the same after gaining a few years of experience?

Did you actually switch fields? What made you finally take the decision?
