I landed what should have been my dream job and absolutely hated it. Not being fulfilled by your work is pretty standard, I think. I learned that I am most fulfilled by helping people directly. I switched from dev to IT. Helping someone and seeing the outcome of my work is far more rewarding, even if it pays less. I think you entered the market at a strange time, post-pan. Some of it could be that. Good luck!
