- Develop a broader set of skills that differentiate you from others with just coding skills. Move up the ladder into management, architecture, or design, and diversify your experience. Work with business executives in your company, in areas such as sales, finance, marketing/product management, legal, and operations.
- Become an entrepreneur. You know more about industries and markets, and have ideas for products that the world actually needs.
- Keep your skills current. This means keeping up to date with the latest trends in computing, programming techniques, and languages, and adapting to change.
- Even though you may be highly experienced and wise, employers aren’t willing or able to pay an experienced worker twice or thrice what an entry-level worker earns. Save as much as you can when you’re in your 30s and 40s, and be prepared to earn less as you gain experience.
