Proverbial answer is "Life starts at 40" ! Whatever you do, always focus on being a practitioner and continuous learner. If you are technical, dig into feet into it. Whichever country you go to, technical depth always gets you a job anytime. Besides you can always experiment with various things and change your career options too. When you retire is upto you. There are many people who are still in IT happily working even as developers at the age of 60. Age doesnt matter in IT, only your skill, ability and attitude

@@saketsaurabhjha That's bcoz Indians started en mass in IT industry only in the last 20-30 years. People who got in to IT industry before that mostly settled abroad. My company is a UK/French one where they don't look at age as a criteria for hiring only when they hire in their countries. In India, the IT service companies put more emphasize on the age than the skills. That's the main issue. Also there is no standardization of salary for defined roles.

The short answer is continuously study and upgrade your skills. By the way, I started my first job at 40 in Cybersecurity (6 figures USD) job. However, I had to invest my time in my Bachelor's and Masters in Cybersecurity. On top of that, you also need to do vendor-specific and vendor-neutral certificates for more depth knowledge.

Thank you for your video. Once you hit your mid-40s, it's not only in IT, but pretty much any other corporate function is practices various degrees of age discrimination. I think we need to change our mindsets and develop entrepreneurial skills while we are in our 20s and 30s, just so that we can prepare better for when we get into our 40s and 50s. This latter age bracket is where you are too expensive to be easily hired elsewhere, yet you are too far off to qualify for retirement benefits. So even if you are in a hot sector like IT, there is a high risk of lengthy unemployment should you be caught in a downturn. We all need to develop multiple sources of income, just to hedge our bets and spread our risks!

1). If you are poor technically, there is no other alternative than going to management roles. It's dead simple. All people who are technically poor become managers in India's top services companies. 2). If you are very good technically and still want to work in India's top services company, you must definitely choose management roles because of above point. If you don't choose management role, your life will be made miserable by the management who have no clue about any IT job. You'll be stuck doing both techical role and management role (with you manager only being the rubber stamp and the face). 3). If you are very good technically and want to work in technical role, immediately quit India's top services companies and join some MNC's captive or product company. 4). If you are very good technically and want to work in technical role, if possible, switch to developed country and work for it's company. I have never seen a single good manager in India's top services company. The difference between a manager from top Indian services company and receptionist at the counter may be only about the degree. You can interchange between them and the receptionist will be at the same level that of the manager in maximum 7 days.

[@user-qq5pj6qw4l]

This is very real. Age discrimination is especially prevelent in the Portland OR job market. Once you hit about 40 years of age, you're cinsidered no longer usefull and they will use terms like, you don't have the experience (see note below), we've moved on to someone more aligned with the job description, we're looking for someone who can hit the ground running. That last catch-phrase is probably the most common flag that you've been age discriminated. One HUGE difference I noticed between the West Coast, especially the Pacific NorthWest, job market and the East Coast job market, is the job application process itself. In the PNW you cannot fill out a job application without providing a college graduation date. In the over 3,200 job applications I filled out in the PNW, probably 97% of them REQUIRED a college graduation date. Without that you couldn't submit the job app. It's pretty obvious the employers are using it as a method to screen by age. When I switched my focus to the East Coast, particularly the South East, about 90% of the job applications didn't even ask for a college graduation date, let alone REQUIRE it in order to submit the job application. The state won't do much about it. They take the attitude 'this is really hard to prove' and there isn't much we (the State) can really do about it. I have over 20 years of experience in embedded systems, hands-on experience with over 20 different micro-controllers and microprocessors, over 15 different languages (not counting the assembly language of all the micro chips I worked with), about 15 years managing projects and even have some teaching experience, and over and over and over and over I was told 'you don't have the experience'. Even when the JD stated that only 3-5 years of experience was needed, they would tell me 'you don't have the experience.' I'm definitely not encouraging anyone to misrepresent themsleves on a job application or resume; that's just wrong. Start-ups are probably the best environment for an old geezer, because they typically need someone who can make mature, well thought out decisions. However, you're going to have to convince the potential employer/interviewer of that and of the fact that you can keep up with the youngsters. Our best skill is the experience and especially the wisdom we've gained. Youngsters may be incredibly bright but they often don't see the big picture or potential problems down the road. Only experience can teach you that. If you're up to moving from the West coast, I would definitely recoomend expanding your search to the Eastern US where they are much less concenred about a person's youthful vigor and much more concerned about real experience and the ability to make mature, wel thought out decisions. Defintely keep your skills current. Either focus on one area to the nth degree and becaome incredibly good at it, or pick up as many skills as you can, becoming very good at all of them. It's tough in IT once you hit 40. I wish you all success.

There are people in Western countries (Europe, USA etc.) where people join as developers and retire as developers. I have worked with many developers who are more than 55 years of age. They get equal respect as a Business Analyst or a Tech Architect or a Manager. Thought process in India is different because labour is CHEAP and the word "GROWTH" is marketed in a lucrative manner in which people forget their lives in search of this "GROWTH" which never seems to stop. From 40 onwards what accompanies the GROWTH seeking employee is Heart Issues, Hypertension, Sleep disorders and Diabetes. What you earn you spend on medicine and hospitals. More importantly PEACE of mind is something that is lost forever. Still you survive. LEAVE IT INDUSTRY IF YOU ARE STILL in early 30s or try to get settled abroad.

Good one 🎉. But I am just wondering why we always need to grow up in the career to become architect or CTO etc.? IT industry is so vast like ocean that one can stay being a Developer, learn new things, excel and learn new technologies. Not sure why it is always to become CTOs, architects, managers etc. If everybody aims to become so than who will develop is also a concern. I’m sure that people who focus on development and keep themselves updated with newer framework, technologies, etc. will never be outdated. Age will no longer be a concern. 😊

[@arjunaacharya6697]

This is the exact question that I had. Thanks for bringing it up. I think it is the indian mindset that if one doesn't get promoted frequently and stays in same role then they are not doing good. This mindset is causing the issue I think. As you said, people should be allowed to remain as developer irrespective of their age and experience and not forced to become architect, lead and manager etc. I think in western countries they allow people to remain as developer for long time.

Key is to identify 1 or 2 things in life that you don’t want to compromise on. It could be a skill set, power/respect, health, money, lifestyle. Choose 1 or 2 goals at most because you can’t have all and at once. Such narrow goals help you have clarity as well as achievable. Once you achieve one, you can move yo the next.

At times I get frustrated by doing day to day routine activities for more than stipulated hours. I want to work with my own rule which is work life balance. But the work demand is not allowing to do so. I am thinking of changing to Project Management or Service Delivery. But I am afraid of interviews and selection process these days. Because when I had started my career it was old school hiring process i.e. 17 years before in my current job. My point here is...I am seeing initial salaries in these domain are offered very less. Cost of living and other expenses are not allowing me to think to do switchover. Really....very confusing...every day confusing.

I have 11 years of exp. first 7 years as QA engineer, then 3 years as BI Engineer, Now, Manager managing both QA and Analytics teams since a year. I have dilemma on which side I move -QA or Analytics? I have more experience in QA but I am more interested in Analytics. I hear that analytics would be AI driven eventually and hence I am hesitant to move in that direction. Please Help me with your suggestions.

Hi sir, how will be the individual contributer role. Are those positions are very few? Is that is a good decision to choose individual contibuter role

[@IndiaFirst9430]

After 7 years of experience it is a good idea to invest year time in universal concepts such as algorithms, architectures, or patterns. However, I would not recommend investing more than a few months in frameworks or libraries. These change frequently and you will have to re-learn them, so putting a lot of effort into these areas is just not worth it.

Check any LinkedIn posting. If it is for a manager post we get 200 applicants for 1 post. If technical then 10. Most of the companies don't hire too many people managers Reason : they have tooany folks waiting in the wings.

[@CareerTalk]

Yes, that's right. We need 1 manager to manage 50 technical people so number of managerial job openings is always less as compared to ground level openings.

So you want us to keep learning even in 40s! That's why I believe product based companies are best!

Hi anand, i m 34 now. I understand that i am good in technical but i fear that i need go to management because after 40 no one will recruit me on technical role. I am getting good salary but i am still on 3rd party payroll. I thinking that i need to be on 1st party payroll.

Hello sir, I'm trained in the cloud integration domain( no coding) but couldn't get projects on that.. prior this i had worked for a data research firm.. but I'm not so much technically strong.. could you please suggest me on this?

[@chethanchandrashekar7522]

If AI like ChatGPT etc are there to replace engineers in the coming 5 years or sooner. Then I wonder what will happen of Scrum masters, Program Managers, POs etc. etc. which are but assistive roles for actual engineering. I can see tech ppl becoming better BAs to work with AI than BAs trying to make sense of stuff developed using AI

[@jayant54singh]

Hi Sir! have you spoken about health hazards in IT industry? More than any other career more nad more IT professionals are getting their body weak by prolonged sitting and they are destroying their posture by their sedentary lifestyle. IT and technology is against human nature. By Limiting the advent of Technology by not upgrading or thinking about sustanability we can save our nature around us. What do you have to say on this matter?
