Need guidance on what to do next

As a guy who was born and brought up in ahmedabad, I have always loved this city.Used to be a bright student in school days , and also in college.Completed my school in HBK and my engineering from VGEC.We are typical middle class family and family of four me ,my big brother,my mother and my grandmother.From last 3 years working in MNC as an engineer, but somehow I lost that spark , currently we are residing in old city.My big b also working in MNC at top level.I do not have any friends in my office , I have friends from my school days , majority of them are doctors in reputed hospital and enginner in banglore/hyderabad.I I am very proud of them but somehow I always question myself also about what I want to do , what I want to become and where I see myself in upcoming years.Constantly suffering from imposter syndrome and considering myself as failure.I do not like office/corporate culture but can't tell my family as they see corporate as good and stable option , also as we plan to buy new house i really can't tell them I want to leave this . I understand that a job switch is important but even after knowing that I do nothing.Sometimes I get depressed watching all my friends successfully at this age , and I am doing nothing.I am planning for studies abroad , but my big b wouldn't allow that .I want to do something on my own (not something like business) but earn well enough by doing part time jobs or anything, but not brave enough.

I had also thought about taking a break and appearing in the govt exam , but my family won't allow me to do that.

I am completely lost and don't know what to do next

Guide me
