For most, the only path of career after programming is management. That i assume if they survive the burnout. Because the job require us to, work late, deal with unreasonable deadline and requirement, learning opportunity is not as many, and not as appreciated for knowledge and skills. There is so much happening in IT, new tech, new skills, new tools. Yet the above reason will kill off the passion, the mood to actually learn all the new stuff.
