Curious - why did you get out of FPGA development, and what do you work on now?
I have anecdotally heard of FPGA/RTL devs leaving the field mostly because of the poor tooling etc.

In addition, lack of a standard library and bad tooling (buggy, slow compilers) makes developing simple things very difficult.
The same attributes that made me a good FPGA developer have also made me a good low-level software developer (x86 assembly doesn't hold a candle to FPGA dev in complexity), so I do that now.
