My personal exit was to (accidentally) build something successful in a different field. I still use tech, but only in support for that business. There's a world of difference between churning out code for a corporation, and writing scripts to support a clear business need. It's how I rediscovered my love for computing.
As you gain professional experience, you will be pushed towards management positions that involve less and less technical work over time. Once you haven’t installed a development environment on your professional laptop for a year, you are ready to simply become a manager in another field. Maybe not in the top companies but management experience is management experience.
That would be my safest plan, though it’s not very exciting professionally.
Alternatively I could find an IT position in a company working in another field, and try to slowly do less IT and more other things.
Last plan is to somehow find 2 billion euros and do whatever I want instead.
