Protip: Have a high bill rate and work in a niche but critical area.

I've spent 20+ years helping people designing, build & move entire datacenters. Migration of one or two servers is easy. It's exponentially harder when you have to move hundreds or thousands of servers running many apps with minimal downtime.

Still not sure how I ended up specializing in this but there was a need and still is. Turns out a lot of that experience is still applicable for customers moving to the cloud =)
