For me switching the career, after spending more than 20 years in this as well... is very hard. I spent all my career outside of high-pay places like SV telling myself "I have all the time in the world, I don't need to grab most amount of money as soon as possible", so retiring is not an option.
So, switch to what? Any well-paid profession is going to be under pressure to be LLMized as much as possible.
