Hello!
I’m in my mid 30s with a new baby and a career in tech. Ive been at a crossroads for a while now. I’m trying to figure out my next steps and am constantly struggling between prioritizing what’s really important to me to make the next step. Figuring out family life, geography, what I actually want to do (current role vs childhood dream vs something different), my values that would feed into my career (remote vs area specific vs work life balance)… I’m just so confused. Are there books out there that can help me think deeply or make sense about some of these things so that I can gain clarity after some self reflection? I really need the guidance !!! Thank you so much

What Should I Do With My Life? by Po Bronson.
Not a step by step guide, but rather an exploration of the question. Bronson interviewed people who made major career changes mid-life. (Telecommunications to tree nursery owner, attorney to truck driver, etc.) Interesting and engaging reading; and may help point you in the right direction.
