I just turned 40 and am right there with you. I speak out of both sides of the mouth, having been a self-employed beneficiary of remote work since _my_ early 20s -- I was doing the digital nomad thing before it got very common. However, when I think about regrets and life choices about occupation, it's the foreclosing on in-person camaraderie and socialisation that tops the list.
