May I ask which industry you have renewed the love for tech? I may have a little bit more love of software that involves a lot more of real world stuff.
My vertical is tech enabled feedback solutions and large scale sentiment analysis for enterprise but tbh that’s irrelevant. Finding niche problems where your product could make the difference is quite rewarding and helps in making friends with clients who see the rewards of its implementation.
I'm a normal unbranded person, I don't think I can talk to enterprise people! But I got your point.
