I'm just about your age and have been in IT for a long time... I feel pretty done with it and just need 918 more days until I'm fully vested for retirement. Granted I cannot afford to retire at all but I grew up in abandoned houses, literally poor enough that I didn't attend school as that just caused a stream of visits from child services so I'm hoping to be able to buy a piece of property when we sell our house.
I know I'm in a "better" place than I was growing up but I don't know how many more 3 hour meetings with Microsoft engineers where they give me AI slop I can stand.
