Comment Get out of tech companies (Score 2, Informative) 660
Others have said it already in this thread, but I'll repeat that you might be happier leaving your high tech company and doing internal software development for some other kind of estabilshed company, university, or government. You're likely (though not guaranteed!) to work a bit fewer hours, and it's possible to stick around for a while.
The trick will be to make yourself not just a techie in that company. You'll need to learn their business, and after several years your acquired domain knowledge will be extremely valuable to the company. Business knowledge seems to have an inverse relationship to technical knowledge that way--being around a long time accumulates better knowledge, not just out-dated knowledge.
