With AI growing and taking away the “coding” part of my job, but leaving the messy real-world on-call and code reviewing, I am enjoying my work less and less.

I’m relatively knew to SWE (5 YOE), but I’ve lost a lot of passion for my work.

I am thinking of switching to technical product management or maybe just managing, but was recently laid off so I have no company that I can switch to another team with.

Was looking for stories and advice. For anyone who has switched, what new roles have you enjoyed? Is it hard to land those roles with only engineering experience and no PM or managing experience? I am a dual citizen with US and EU, is it worth trying one over the other for the switch?
