Start your own company; you are probably highly talented and our industry went recently insane, trying to normalize to the lowest denominator. Build a product with high quality and charge a lot of money for it to dysfunctional companies that are in despair and incapable of their own excellence. Most of them are like that these days. Never put all your eggs to a single basket though. Invest all your income above your needs and some safety margin to both stable investments like index funds and to high-risk investments like what blockchain was recently. In ~10 years you should be way better off than almost anyone you know (unless there is some wide-spread societal collapse that can't be ruled out).
