I have been doing front-end development for past 3 years and know enough node and Java to get by on server sice. I want to deepen my knowledge in backend dev in general, Java seemed like a good start because of better career prospects.
Related: Is Java still relevant? Or should I start with some other backend stack?
I switched to a new high paying job 3 months back and I already feel like I have made a mistake. I loved my old job, pay wasn't that great but there was hope that it'll get better in future. I switched because of money, moved to a different city and now feel trapped because I don't like the work, my manager is a pro-right asshole who doesn't know how to treat his subordinates. I don't see a reason to come to the office every day and work on making better ads rather than working on making better web products - something I truly enjoy.
I feel like I should move back to my old company but there are lots of practical issues with that. 1, it is in a different city and 2, its been only 3 months since I left. I will be a laughing stock for everyone If I move back.
Advice?
