Hi all,
As a bit of background, I'm 34 and work in tech (like many of you). I moved into the management side of things a few years ago and like it enough that I've been pushing for promotions and related career-advancement over the last few years. In fact, I'm about to take the GRE next week in the hope of enrolling in my second Masters program (my first was in CS, this one would be in Management Science).
Here's the thing - I just recently passed the magic 25x expenses number. Granted, some people don't believe in the 4% rule, and I fully understand that my expenses might go up over time (currently single). Nevertheless, even if I have to work for another 5-10 years at the max, it seems that I'm nearing the end.
Is it silly to push and push for more responsibility, another degree, etc, at this point?
