My plan is to just stay in the game as long as possible and bag as much money as possible. Delay family formation (gen z) or buying property so that the money is liquid. Job hop as needed because of all of the consolidation and acquisitions that are happening right now.

If the whole industry implodes, I'll probably just go and get another degree or a PhD and try to pivot into an adjacent field.

But for right now, I think that staying in tech makes the most sense. The WSJ and these other bootlicker newspapers want people to be uneducated and unable to move abroad or escape the corporate hellscape this country is turning into. More money is more freedom from these managerial cunts who are stumbling over themselves to fuck up everything. I genuinely think that things will not positively change until the educated people start leaving the US en masse and shit up the whole US economy.

But I'm wondering if anyone here can chime in with smart ways to pivot where you can apply the same type of skillset that leads someone to do well in SWE. Is statistics a good route?

Millennial here, I've mostly given up on that front. I won't get into details, but trust me: money definitely helps but it's not the deciding factor (or even the main risk factor).

but yeah overall my plan is pretty much the same.
