The Lesson: Winning the game means leaving the table.
There is a final stage in a high-tech career that no HR rep will ever explain: the moment you realize you have fulfilled your own requirements. When the roof is paid for and the rainy-day fund is full, the "Why" of your work must shift.
If you continue to grind for the same goals you had at the beginning of your career, you are just "Stagnating" in a seat that a 25-year-old needs to find their own "Wheat." But "Done" doesn't mean "Finished." You are finally free to tell a a 25-year old the Why.
To Tech Veterans: A 25-year old needs your perspective..A 25-year old needs to know that it's possible to work for 40 years and leave with a clear conscience and an old M1 Mac Mini that still works like a dream.
