Salesforce e-commerce is horrendous.
Your interesting fields... AI, ML, Data Science, etc, seem amazing on paper and in the movies, but a) it takes an incredible amount of dedication to master and b) in the real world, it's monotonous, repetitive and frustrating work.
Cybersecurity sounds like the matrix or the movie Hackers, but in real life is incredibly complex, technical, not "exciting" by any means.
The entire industry sounds incredible. But it's a lot of work, takes a lot of dedication, and is more boring than you'd think.
I'd say get into front end web, but you said you don't have any interest.v have you don't react it similar front end web stuff? Maybe try it out?
I think the issue is that the entire industry is kind of over hyped and Hollywood-izd. It sounds cooler than it is. Try to get into something that sounds interesting and hope you enjoy it.
I understand what you are trying to say, looking for a different job in frontend is much less effort. I have tried my hand at React, vue and a couple of new frameworks, there was a time when I was excited to learn about new things - Now I'm no longer feeling that drive to learn anything about the field.
I have also tried working on some Machine Learning projects and thats how I came to the conclusion that I don't want to work in AI, ML and data science..
I started looking for jobs in cybersecurity, while being aware of it's boring and frustrating nature... so it's not like I just decided to jump ship because of the hype.
