Thinking about a career change from Social Media Marketing. Looking for advice.

I'm 26 and currently working as a Social Media Marketer. My work involves content creation, photography, videography, video editing, graphic design, social media management, and a bit of advertising(started doing Meta ads).

When I started, I genuinely enjoyed the work. I loved creating content, learning new skills, and seeing the results of my work. But lately, I've completely lost the excitement for it. Even simple tasks feel difficult, and I often find myself not wanting to do anything work-related.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering and a Diploma in Graphic Design. The thing is, although I have a CSE degree, I currently have almost no coding knowledge and haven't worked in a software-related role. Most of my experience has been in marketing, content creation, and design.

I'm now wondering what career paths I should explore next.

For anyone who has been in a similar situation:

  • What career did you switch to after marketing or content creation?
  • What careers would make good use of my background in CSE, design, content creation, and marketing?
  • Is this likely burnout, or does it sound like I need a career change?
  • If you were in my position, what career paths would you seriously consider?

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!
