I don’t get why people think “starting your own company” is less risky than working for someone.
I’m in my mid 40s and don’t spend a single minute worried about being laid off or my company folding.
I do however spend a lot of time keeping my network of local recruiters warm and making sure my skillset is marketable.
I have a group of friends we are all in our 40s and we all change jobs at the drop of a dime. None of us have any desire to be in management but we make sure we keep up with industry trends.
In fact, our former manager is in his late 50s and self demoted to a developer after his kids graduated and he is a full stack .Net/JavaScript/Azure Developer.
