Skill development- while I really respect people who develop fully to principal or higher, I just can't see myself doing that. And the higher titles bring higher stress that just isn't worth it to me. Monetary - the benefit from more money becomes negligable as you go up the income scale. Although being a billionaire would be different. Altruistic missions - I considered this actually, but then realized the cost of failure is much higher. If I cause an outage in big tech, they lose millions of ad dollars, who cares. But outages or delays in nonprofits can cost lives or livelihoods, and that's much scarier. Going back to what I liked at 10-12 sounds good
