I don't expect any job actually programming pays more than that, even if you are literally doing 1 1/2 jobs (60 hrs/wk). Only way to get that kind of pay and work for someone else is as an executive and a higher up VP/CTO/CIO etc.

Keep that job and don't spend all that money in one place. You might be one of those folks who can retire while they are (relatively) young.



That's actually the plan... And then maybe join a SV start up because money doesn't matter anymore...

Going to be tough to do as an enterprise Java developer though. =P.


Naw, just learn a new language or two when you quit.

Haskell is a particularly good choice. After fighting with Java generics for decades I found it really nice to work with a real type system.

Also, go is trivial for an experienced Java programmer to master.
