> where do you learn advanced stuff if not in a graduate school?

Hard to answer without knowing your background and exactly what you want to learn, but generally speaking...

(1) Try to find some people who are good at something advanced you want to learn. Figure out a way to work with them.

(2) Be active in online communities. Ask and answer questions, write something and open source it, or contribute to another project.

I think this is good advice in general. But I doubt that the most effective way to follow it is to devote evenings after your 200k+ corporate job to studying.
