What to Do if Not in Management by 35: Avoid One Standard

Professional value is not equal to managing people; specialist depth, experience and being hard to replace matter too. First decide whether you want management or excel at a specialty; for management, build leadership and coordination and seek opportunities, and for a specialist path, deepen expertise and build influence, planning long term with health and family rather than being hijacked by age anxiety.
