Just curious to know how the carrier graph of software engineers.
I am in my late 20’s in software industry. What happens to engineers once they reach their 40’s?
Especially who are not that great and works at mediocre companies or service industries.
How hard is it find a new job if you get laid off in early 40’s?
Getting scared thinking about the future or maybe I am overthinking
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑
Leave everything man! Why are people still writing "career" wrong. Carrier and Career are different. People will take all about the world and wouldn't know even the basics.
It’s not “leave everything man”. It’s “leave everything, man”. Where the comma? And it’s not take, it’s talk.
Why do people jump into correcting grammatical mistakes rather than focusing on the important aspects?
Does it make you feel better once you point out silly mistakes?
There is going to be a huge difference between what happened in the past vs what could happen in the future due to the advent of AI age.
You could get a few tips from my earlier post here: https://grapevine.in/post/reflections-and-life-lessons-at-45-5f538a1a-0eb1-43ed-a97c-9521d2a17446
Short summary: Gain financial independence as soon as you can. Build alternate sources of income or skills that you can monetize working alone.
There you are!!
In our company, most principal engineers start at 40 years of age, and there are multiple levels above it. Many people over 50 are already working in my team.
How many of them are in india?🤨
I think the same will stand true for most big product based companies, easy to spot 40+ yrs experienced guys.
A really important question. +1 would love to know
It is very easy to spot 40+ yrs experienced guys in product based companies.
The problem with Service Based companies is, they focus on cost cutting and they employ in lakhs keeping the ratio of Juniors more, so that’s why, there you would find it difficult to notice many senior folks. But the same ratio is much better in product based companies, there you can easily spot 40+ guys around, some of 50 age too. So it is not like everyone will lose job after 40, if you put some effort, you will surly have a job.
These folks definitely exist in banks or other enterprise companies. Not sure how it is for them when they start looking but network is probably key when they need to do it. Also I feel these folks are lot less than how many there will be in next few years. There are lot more companies as well but I do think it would be hard to stay in a job past 45.
There was one great post. I can't find through
