A good start here is that you are capable of working (or you'd never get to where you are, technically, even if you hate it), and you have no moral connection to it/no desire to "change the world" or even get something done (or you'd be happy doing or trying to do that and won't be posting this). It puts you in a favourable spot because this is how most great money is made: by capable people who don't care about anything but their personal bottom line. Just make a dash to a passive income as ruthlessly as possible, even if it means ruining things, engaging in corruption, or doing really dirty stuff like outsourcing. Retire in 3 or 5 years.
