Engineering is just somewhat a dead-end job; the career path really sucks. If you don't join a great start-up by 40 and get rich by 45, which is not that easy, you start to pray that you don't get laid off for the next 10 years .....
Since when do you see a CEO come from R&D? I mean, for bigger companies, not start-ups. My boss went to Stanford for PhD and she is the director of R&D (about 50 yr old), but that's about it. Lucky for her to break into management 10 yr ago, but I don't think she is moving up again.
No company wants to hire a 50 yr old engineer who gets paid 150k+. Period.
I think they want to make some changes in their life

It depends....... however, acutally most engineers can't transform to be a successful manager, probably just a management role, no matter successful or not. Everyone with ambition wants to make impacts to business. But generally management instead of engineers leads the direction of business and make strategic decisions. This also leads them to be richer than engineers.
