Ask HN: Did quitting tech lead to a good or bad outcome for you?

I'm absolutely, completely, totally burnt out on the entire tech industry. I've tried switching jobs, switching companies, and taking time off between. Today is my one year anniversary with my current company, and I can think of nothing except quitting.

But when I look at tech job boards, nothing excites me anymore enough to even apply. I like solving technical problems, but that's about the extent of my interest in the tech sector anymore. I hate modern software development methodologies and their rituals. I literally have a gag reflex at the thought of attending more meetings. Almost everything that I see big tech touch I see it making worse, and small tech seems to exist primarily to support big tech while trying to emulate it. I just can't do this industry anymore.

Did you quit? What did you do next? Were you happy with the outcome, or disappointed by it? I grew up in poverty, so my biggest fear is the loss of income, so I need to find some assurance to myself that I can find something I like better than tech that at least makes enough to pay the bills.
