I'd do anything short of murder to get out of software. If I could find a career that paid enough to live somewhere nice and didn't have the horrible working conditions that software does (stack rank, fake agile, unrealistic deadlines, stack rank, etc.) I'd do it in a heartbeat.
There is so much more to software than SaaS apps. I do compilers now for new chips. The work environment is so much better. Go for the hard problems always.

95% of software jobs in the world never come into touch with stack ranking or fake agile.
If only the remaining 5% of software jobs allows you to "live somewhere nice", then your issue lies with your definition of "somewhere nice".
