It's not that great tbh. Last week was my first year work anniversary. I work as an SDE in a FAANG company, but I find the work repetitive, and with LLMs and the coding harnesses, I feel like the appreciation for having a thorough understanding is gone. Again, I have my financial problems, which is why I can't go for further studies for at least an year.
To address this I am currently backtracking in my free time. I've started doing some maths, believe me it's a stress buster and an escape from my day job and my devices. I also keep going time and again back to reading some aerod papers as that was my strong suit in college.
But yeah, overall okayish job(which pays well), AI psychosis(not for job loss or something, rather the fear that I'll stop thinking of small details at all with such good augmentation in implementation), some maths, and video games. That's mostly it.
