For those who’ve moved on or are thinking about life after a career in tech: what would you pursue next? Would you start a business, dive into a hobby, switch fields entirely, or just relax?

Retired out of tech for 5 years, then started an art gallery a year ago. Now starting a sandwich shop in the same building. Couldn't resist applying a bit of tech to each.

Food and clothing are constantly consumed, and clothing is too trend-dependent, so food it is.

Last year I decided to plan ahead for a career change to become a counselor. I started volunteering with a crisis support help line (lifeline.org.au) and did their training course (quite substantial!). I'm now doing volunteer shifts and getting some experience. In the future I will do some more formal courses while continuing to volunteer and likely cut back my hours working as a dev (over 30 years experience). My ultimate goal, when my financial position allows it, is to work full time or perhaps part time as a counselor whether that is my own business or through some other organisation or a combination.
