When I was 20, I contemplated working as a developer until I was 30 and then join the Peace Corps.
In my late 20's, I decided to code until 35 and then do something "less stressful".
A few weeks ago I turned 40. I live in Cyprus, but right now I'm working remotely a 5 minute walk from the beach in Croatia. Think I finally accept I've got a "retirement" plan worked out.
Sample the manager, CTO/C?O, principle/R&D engineer, educator, and greener-pastures career paths and decide what's best for you.
