29F NW of $480K stuck in corporate purgatory

I think I've been in CoastFIRE for a while now, feels like I should be able to make some life changes but I'm feeling the golden handcuffs and anxiety about the tech market and world in general. I'd be willing to switch to something more laid back with less pay if it meant having more freedom to travel and work remotely, but doesn't seem like anyone's getting hired anywhere for anything lol.

I don't want a house one day, don't want kids, I don't even have a car currently, just wanna be free from the corporate BS and having to go into the office everyday. I'd love to do a gap year or something and reset but seems risky these days. Not sure if I'm really looking for advice, maybe just connect with others who've had similar numbers or anyone else stuck in this ~boring middle~
