No idea. I'm doing the “running away, worrying about the to later” thing to an extent. I'm thoroughly burned out so the first thing I'll do is take a break to rest my head and sort a few personal things. The mortgage is paid, I have a small but useful chunk of savings, and no dependents apart from the cats, so I have the luxury of being able to seriously consider that.
I'm not qualified for anything else that isn't also remote, full of AI and getting more so, or both, so I may quite literally end up waiting tables, I have friends who can help me skip the queue there with an “he's a good bloke” recommendation. While I was in hospital recently (gallbladder trouble and liver infection) talking to one of the porters who was wheeling to & from the CT scanner, they apparently need more bodies ATM, I could certainly do that (other than the temporary issue I was in there for I'm fit & healthy) and might actually find some enjoyment in it. Both involve dealing with real people who are in the room with me. Anything I do once I leave here will be result in a massive pay cut, but if the change saves my sanity then that will have to be acceptable.
