Have you tapped into your network? If you're in tech and "not quite old enough" for Social Security, then I assume you are in the middle to later stages of your career, which means you ought to have plenty of former co-workers and managers you could contact to see if they need someone or know of a team looking for help. I would also look into contracting, freelance, or consulting work. It's not as easy as just going to work for someone, because you essentially have to set up a whole business around your work, which means you need tax planning, accounting, etc. However, right now most of the open jobs I see in my line of work are contracts or contract-to-hire. If you can stay organized and have excellent communication skills, running your own show can be a great way to go.
