it would be good to take a step back and have a global perspective on this. If you consider yourself as a product in the market what value would you ascribe to yourself . And it also depends on the goals you have for yourself. the demand and supply of the market dictates your value , if what you do is easy and anyone can replace you or you can be replaced by software , then you should probably start to retrain and better position your self .
