Mam i have seen many junior developers max wth 10 to 12 of years experience earning between 30 to 35 lakh per annum. They are now earning more than some senior programmer who are in their 40 or late 40 . hence this is wrong statement that senior people are removed because they cost more . I see many developer in their 30 they being are hired with 30% to 40% hike. So that will happen to them if they reach their 40 years age same cycle that they will be the high paying employes in the company than their current old senior employee ?

I'm a software Developer. Till age 55 I'll remain developer. My passion in application development. I'm always keeping myself up to date in my technical skills and adopt new technologies easily. And I have confidence I'll work till age of 60 in technical area. Thank you

This is true. I have seen 'managers' and 'team leads' that are 'non technical' in technical settings ---- and without deep understanding of what you lead/manage, you cannot lead or manage

Correct, Engineers like doctors also need to study till they practice, till/beyond retirement. But leave 40-42, more than 50% people in our country want to be pure non-tech manager by/before 30 & just manage login/logout & leaves, gives false deadlines, question & humiliate techies illogically. Many in their 20s itself wanna do MBA, PGDBA, PMP, Prince2, ITIL, etc, that's it. This is why our country doesn't have global top ranking in building our own foundation H/w like microprocessors & foundation S/w like OS, foundation protocols like TCP/IP, FC, etc. We are just assembling imported things. Our generic TV advertisements also glorify managers but not techies like that. In tech world, just like medical world, people & project management are add-ons & not core skill.

Video with factual info. What we can also learn from this video indirectly is that majority of companies are more interested in profits than people. They can take a hit on a few quality issues without seniors by blaming mid level leads. I have seen people who used to say "L & T" is my blood etc. etc and sooner than later they might have discovered that L & T has sucked all their blood and they have nothing to give anymore to L and T and without blood they would any ways die.

Its a good summary, Some of them are common sense, when working in a private companies and seeing our seniors we should be able to figure out and plan it out.

Moral of the story, be a self-starter not a wage slave.

This is like a daily conversation I am having with my friends who also turning 40+ . 1. It’s not easy to have mindset to come out of the technical role and explore the new, I kept my constant 5 years efforts to get out of thetechnical cap (but facing the heat ) 2. About travel she is so right, I am not willing to even travel to Mumbai now from Bangalore 3.

This is is mainly seen in India. In western countries you can see a lot of developers in their 50s. Indians generally slack off after 35. Once you become outdated it is difficult. I think issue is with kind of work done in Indian service companies. It doesn't need high technical skills. Very little skill development happens if you stay at same place for 15 to 20 years. Brain of an average person will stagnate and become rigid. Then why try making this person learn new technologies? - when you can have energetic youngsters coming around and doing the same for less.

The cost of living in middle-of-nowhere Texas is one-third of California for example.

Building passive income needs additional time after work. If a person works 80 hours then building passive income becomes impossible.

very well said !

Exactly fit my case. After 12yrs, got a super opportunity, and seized it. In early years, got raises up to 30%, but last four years got 2% to 4%, not even meeting inflation. Moreover, now a bit of management. In previous company, I was even backbitted as having no management skill.

This may be true for service based companies. But in many of the product based companies, employees have an option to choose between IC and people management. They can even switch between those whenever they want. It's not only about the pay, its about efficiency too. The major difference I see is that experienced engineers drive the projects/tasks to completion by taking the full ownership which may not always be true for less experienced. The key is to stay relevant in the industry by consistently upgrading tech-stack. If you are in service based company then you certainly are at the will of client, you are just a billable resource.

Thank you so much. i got hit and realized something to plan in the next two years time. thank you.

The best way out is to plan for financial freedom through passive income, because eventually like everything else in this world, entropy will impact you as you age in a corporate world. Be your own boss, content creation, blogging, explore new avenues. That's what I am doing.

I think it’s not easy to generalise. I moved to US in late 30s. Had been with the same company for 11 years and got esop benefits. Recently joined the customer after they requested. I am still on technical lines and do learn and keep up but it is my domain knowledge that gives me an edge not the technology. I had been working with the same customer for 10 years before joining them, out of which 8 years onsite. My takeaway is learn about customer’s needs and work towards it, you will be rewarded

Correct. I was in Wipro till last year, I have seen 3 architects age 53 years and 48+ Technical Leads and more 45+ with PMs or Tech leads. They are all in Bangalore Wipro now. IT in India changing, it will get better in coming years. If 40+ IT folks are terminated then it creates unwanted competition other fields and it also increases crime rates. So government also aware of this facts.

People have priorities and accordingly it takes a toll sometimes - Everyone starts the job with different family background - so at the young age goals needs to be set - now as you achieve each goal - either you will set the next career goal in terms of succession or to remain in same position but an ambitious development goal - so it is not about a person who loses job at 40 - the person who does not have ambition, an eye to market, constantly spending 30 to 40 hours per year in upskilling, 100+ hours in day to day job effiency upskilling year on year will definitely lose their job

But the funny thing in serviced based companies is they fake the resumes of juniors as more experienced and send them for interviews with the help of seniors to crack the interviews. in the end junior cannot perform as the client expectations, which leads client to pull out from the company. Foreign clients lost interest on Indian service based companies long back.

my uncle is 58 and he started to work in application development since 1999 and still he is working

Giving 110% at work + learning new skills + family commitments = Burnout

Iam 40+ having all finance experience..but not getting job offers...iam really very worried about my children future..😢😢😢

Very useful video: updating skills/willingness to learn new things is a skill on itself whether it is a hard skill (new technologies) or soft one (management). It opens new doors and help on career progression: I am big proponent of constantly learning new things and accepting change/new efficient ways of doing things.

It may be true for service based company but now things are changing ....if u r a continuous learner u won't be in a disappointment ....Java wad there 15 years ago and still it is in demand ....yes many new technologies have come in but it's all about ur own mindset.

Writing my view with just 7-8 yrs of experience. Trust me, no "corporate technical skill" including AI/ML persona holds respect after you stop learning, no matter the age. Being adaptable, getting management skills are yet another trash. Only way to save your butt is to gain general skills, understand the industry and step into market. Suppose if youre working IT, understand how contracts are drafted and business deals are made. Learn basic data processing skills and find a way where they can be applied in open market. Consulting is not bad though. People may hv different views, but this is all about how you sell yourself. All you need to make sure is that you shud have sufficient technical skills (30%), sales and marketing network (30%), big shot network (20%) like C suite or at least VP/ Director level and rest of 20% should be your family network to support you mentally and physically. All the best🎉

Good analysis. A lot I agree with, a lot I can't entirely agree with. Good analysis, however.

You have mentioned that frequent switches in career is okay now a days in corporates but does hard core engineering industries like Mechanical, electric do also follow the same trend & accept frequent job switches

The primary reason is lack of upskilling and investment in yourself. People tend to invest in smart markets, Mutual Funds and real state but not in themselves. They think doing any PG course, certification etc is just waste of time and money or they keep unrealistic expectation that doing some xyz course or certification will give them a overnight boost in salary. Its a long and time investing process, like you need to slowly but consistently keep investing your mutual funds, you also need to keep doing upskilling and rather not wait till last moment.

It may be true for service companies India, different experience working for direct companies abroad .. you find many senior people who does not want just people management , a few advantages for that .. higher pay , and technical jobs are always plenty

The Single Truth above all truths is that Majority Indian Corporates do not prefer Employee who is above the age of 40 even if the employee is an expert or qualified and is up-to-date in technical knowledge & skills . It is an INDIAN CORPORATE Mindset issue, but in the west I know many employees who are above 50 & work in very demanding technical roles & perform mission critical functions.

But few who r in to development.. and have constantly kept them self up to date with core concepts.. they can still function a one more decade with out any hick ups.
