Thinking in terms of decades is a really good start. Decide where you want to be and then work backwards.

Go after soft/horizontal skills. Get a mentor above all - even if you have to pay for it.

Learning new fancy tech is not going to get you anywhere after some time.

How that tech can be leveraged for business & when that tech is useful/or not will see you through.

Actually product companies today are not building any lasting skills, they are simply using available deep skills. Whatever skills have been built in FK/Ola/Razorpay is not because of their institutional efforts but individual drive.

Developers are simply coding in new language in a different company. Companies like Wipro/Infy invested BIG in skill building but they do not pay that well.

Some hybrid model might be good but difficult to pull off.

5-10 years is a lot in tech. Keep yourself updated to latest technologies (AI/XR) and hope most of us won’t be obsolete by then haha
