Yeah 30 years at Microsoft, with bonus and stock options etc can give you retirement at 55yo, but all the others programmers like me that went through some companies (that where bought by bigger one and stripped out), forget it, it will be 65yo or more.

Just happened to me. Private equity firm bought the company and gutted my whole department. Just bought a house too.
