In my case, when I was 30 I was looking at my first great learning job at Microsoft. I was working on an awesome distributed project, learning a lot, doing fantastic c++ work, making good connections. I was a dev for a few years, then a lead. Shipped some good stuff.
Then in my 40s I went back to being a dev and learned a bunch of cool stuff at one of the amazons, googles, facebooks of the world. Now I'm 50 and have another great job, get tired of replying to recruiters.
Look for jobs that teach you great stuff, expand on the important tech skills you don't have, pay well, and look good on your resume.
