I have 10+ YOE, staff at FAANG, work on AI infra.

My strategy is:

- study/learn and try to be as close as possible to the valuable skills required to keep AI systems improving and working, even more than I am now. Should buy slightly more time than the average dev.

- own a house

- save as much money as possible

- make time to learn a employable physical skill which is AI proof. Won’t share mine but you can figure it out there aren’t that many options that will be left
