My wife asks me from time to time: "What do you need to learn now for the next five years of your career?"

It's a great question. It is also, I think, the right time frame, though one could argue for three years instead of five. Given the terrain I see now, I can plan for the next five years, and have those plans be mostly reasonable most of the time. Past that is harder.

I honestly have no idea what to even plan for the next couple of years and it's stressful
