Slightly off topic..

How tough it is to survive after gaining 20+ years of experience in IT Industry.
Is it wise if we think about and plan accordingly for getting retired at the age of 45-48 (20 years of experience).
What do you think about it.

Retiring at 45-58 is very difficult. You need to have a different income stream as well as a huge corpus of, say, 5 cr to live comfortably.

But 20 years of experience is quite common and most people will be in higher management levels like Directors, AVP, etc.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?
