This late in my career, I've found 5 of my 7 SIEMs are gone, and the last one is on life support. The one I'm managing now will not be around by the time I retire.

You start to see the patterns and futility and cycles and think 'maybe my career is not making things better, it's keeping the mortgage paid?'

That and while I'm I can get rehired past 50...do I really want to do that dance again?

Same here, past 50 and while my job doesn’t fulfill me, I can do it with little effort and it pays the bills. I’m too tired and lazy to try something new, rather look for fulfillment in my spare time. Actually, all my previous experiences say that every job sucks, no matter how promising it looked like at the start.
