Contracting/Consulting, Freelance, Starting own business, Architecture, Leadership, Teaching, etc. Older devs are out there doing things and making very good money. If you work at a start up u wont find them there. Older devs cost more. Other mature devs no longer interested in progressing can be found in corporate settings doing legacy support work. I currently work at a place where 80% of the gang is much older. They dont mind supporting legacy frameworks and working with outdated tech. And thats a good thing. As a developer you also have more opportunities to move around into other domains like info sec, networking, dev ops, QA, just to name a few. I enjoy working with older devs. Respect.
