Yeah, but I mean after decades of experience, you already know how to do those things, and they're fairly basic stuff to know and learn from.

Was thinking more "Imagine you have 30 years of experience and casually looking for the next Bell Labs, what to look out for when there are the company?"

If you have 30 years odds are your real worry is can you afford to retire. I'm not quite there but I'm looking at my accounts. I don't need a fun job - I hope not to be there long. maybe I'm worng, but I believe even the best job can't compare to working on my own projects. (Though they will also have bad days)

No, I'm already "retired" as in I don't have to work to survive. Right now I'm contracting on fun/interesting projects that gets passed to me and idly looking for the next Bell Labs to join for fun :)

The best way to predict the future is invent it.

If you're looking for the next Bell Labs, why not try to found it?
