Hardware Engineer : frustrated

HW pay sucks - after 10 years, the salary doesn't even come close to SW engineers starting salary. It's not like my job is any easier!! WTF?! Is my thought. After a day's work, I find it hard to open up data structures or algo book and sit and read again. I solve some leet code here and there on weekends and I go exhausted to work the next week. I never feel rested. It's like constantly playing catch up game. And sometimes I catch myself thinking "dude wtf are you doing? Is this it? Am I going to spend my life in pursuit of this next tiny temp shiny thing?" These thought constructs seems fragile. This problem probably would have been simple if I had a single one track thought "SW pays better, I just want to move there", but my problem has layers: (a) meaning of life, (b) does it even matter in the end? Sometimes I feel like "fuck it" let's hit the rest button and go back to school and get a second masters. I have masters in Computer Engineering. I basically avoided every CS class because I thought I was bad at CS. But my interests and priorities have changed. I do enjoy solving leet code - just the pure problem solving part. I've been in the industry for 10 years..I sometimes feel career boredom.is spilling into the way I experience life. And I feel that's a fuckin sad way to lead a life. Any thoughts? Thanks guys!!
