Hi,

I have been serving as a software developer in a middle tier software company in India for the last five years. Coding used be my passion (maybe it still is). I did pretty well in my job and my growth was quite satisfactory. All was going well.

But for the last six months or so, I have been feeling a little down and out of place. I think I have lost the drive to work in software industry. To me it all seems rather pointless now. This is certainly not a sudden change. I started feeling it as an on and off feeling some time ago. Gradually it has increased and has now come to a level where it casts a shadow over every thought I have.

So, I would like to ask for some advice from all my fellow hackers. Are there any alternate careers for a software developer in India. Teaching is the one that comes to mind at once, given the technical aspect of our work. But are there any other avenues I can start exploring?

Thanks in advance.
