When your narrow expertise becomes a cage you can't leave

I've gone so deep into one narrow thing that it's become the only thing I can do. Every year of getting more senior has made it harder to imagine walking away, because leaving means giving up everything I've built. I look at other paths and feel a pull, then remember I'd be starting from zero. The expertise that made me valuable has quietly turned into a cage.
