I think it’s a normal hump in the career. I’ve tried two things:
-
Focus on delivering to the customer. Maybe the product doesn’t need to be passionate, but it may need to be easy to use or more acceptable to a certain group of customers. Focus on what makes them happy and you will feel that the work is more rewarding.
-
Change jobs. I’ve worked corporate for 14 years. I’m starting at a consultancy in two weeks. Maybe I’ll be horribly disappointed, but I’m sure I’ll learn a few new things and get a couple of those “oh-my-god, how will I ever get this done!” moments again.
