>I general advise people in your situation to start looking further down the world's dependency tree, where things churn less frequently, and where the skills you acquire will last longer. I actually don't agree, being "further down" the dependency tree, the more likely you are to be exposed to new concepts and stay agile as a developer. I moved from a backend .NET background into frontend and have found the faster pace more refreshing with the evolving web and mobile platforms. Staying with .NET would have had me writing the same EF code over and over in almost a time capsule, at least talking to old colleagues. I feel like i'm more valuable now, because i've been through a few tech stacks and understand the benefits and drawbacks of each.
