Your 30s are probably your peak earning years for IT related fields then you start to slow down and get shuffled into management. Some folk do hang on over-40s

Your 30s are probably your peak earning years for IT related fields then you start to slow down and get shuffled into management. Some folk do hang on over-40s in hands on tech but it has a limited shelf life. Computer games design is a young person's gig, IMO. Zero family and work you to death are the mantra for that industry. Sometimes the best thing to do is stay put. My two cents.
