Feeling old in Tech after just 6 years.

28M, 6 yoe. Everyone at my level in my organisation is younger than me. I open linkedin and all i see is younger people. Where are people of my age? What are they doing? I feel like I have fallen behind the average.

Get married and make a young one who can compete with the young ones. Balance the scale.

I won't evaluate people for age. I would evaluate for the skill set or experience.

Hey bro,

I'm here 👋🏻

29 yo. Had to leave my job in Feb 2024 due to company's instability and PIP. Been struggling, freelancing and looking for a full-time job!

Everyone's going through a different journey!

27M same YOE.

Learning whatever I come across (politics , tech, work related stuff, about movies) and building world view and personal opinion and little bit of physical. Also building wealth to make sure I can take risks in the next 5 years

hahahaha....thanks man. I was feeling weird because I don't see many people of my age around. What are you doing in your life apart from work?

I guess instead of being active online, people of our age are figuring out life ahead.

At 28, I had 2.5 YOE, every one has their own destiny. Don't get intimated with younger people's growth.

Bhai where I work in my team even manager is younger than me although people of age are either architects or managers but am working as a leader software engineer but mostly as an individual contributor.

I am unable to upgrade to manager as I hate too much communication and not an architect as I still I need to upgrade for that level?

In my team mostly genzs and 2 oldies....haha

hahahaaa.... it's so weird in this tech world. Just 4 years ago I was the youngest one everywhere and now I feel the oldest one. I too had a chance of being a manager but seeing the life of other managers, I don't want that.
