This is changing faster. With 2021-22 great resignation,packages in India went pretty high and it's real competitive now with abroad as well comparing living cost. Now people are looking for less managers and more techies 🙂. "If you aren't a manager by 40, you are an underachiever"- this is no longer applicable.

very good points I am 50 plus and worked with team 10 to 15 years younger than me. They are directors , VPs and team leads , PMs. All points you mentioned are excellent. Todays younger generation also one day will become older> Its just a matter of time. If everyone focuses on delivery of task and keeps aside egos or differences it works out well. Infact both can learn from each other.

I once had to report to a woman manager in her 20s. She was younger to me by atleast a decade or so. She misunderstood my calm and composed nature as showing attitude and disrespect towards her when she was trying to micromanage me. This made it difficult to have a good work environment till the project lasted.

The wisdom the seniors carry is indispensable. Young and aggressive managers / techies need that wisdom at some point of time when they hit a block. Seniors are actually paid for the experience and wisdom they have gathered over the years of work.

Absolutely, you nailed it from the caption in itself. See, let's us understand that IT industry is brutal today specially when Big Projects are involved and just like everything projects too cease IT industry is as the nature of business is grey matter led The integration needs to be very smooth or a safety network has to be built Keeo this program continued with such pain points . Wish there were 5 more hours in a day .

In my current team most of are 12 to 15+ years of experience. I am working as principal engineer in product based company in my 40+, recently moved to service based company due to acquisition by major client and all teams remain in same client. I got completed my major multi-year project at same time but product was totally different, I was helping current team on some technical issues and I moved to that team as it was consolidation and I know the team and backend stuffs, but lot of learnings on frontend and agile process....but I am putting my efforts in learning new technology and deliverables. It is out of my comfort zone, but interesting to learn the technology.

Just like in sports...age is just a number...those who want to stay relevant, will always unlearn, relearn and learn...those who have just followed the bootmarks of the bosses and never come out of their comfort zone will suffer..

Good insights! I am a woman who is very close to 40 from India... Recently I have started my career in IT as a developer.. I faced many similar issues in the company... Most of the employees around me were recently passed out students... It took a while for me to get adjusted and be a part of the very young team.. Didn't actually understand how to deal with few things.. Plus being a mother who started her career at this stage of the life especially in corporates is definitely not easy... Now that this AI is also taking over.. I am confused weather to continue in this field or not.. Please throw some light on this keeping in mind, the women who are trying to make a come back or who want to start their career in IT in late 30s. I find the market at present not that great..

What they don't know is they too will be in your shoes too when they reach your age. I think you're old enough to understand that, so do your best to ignore them. On the contrary to your observations for late entry in IT career, actually there's a huge demand in the AI for developers regardless of the age. Doesn't matter if you started late, you are still fresh enough to step into application development of application development.

I am at 40 still doing lot of coding, hands-on building large scale systems as individual contributor and always eager, curious to learn new things, but I live in US, and I see a major difference while I worked in India when I was in 20's and working in US in 30's to 40, but one common thing I noticed in we Indians think that we shud be climbing the title/role ladder, but that's not true, gaining specialized skills and in-depth knowledge and soft skills from experience is the key. I have worked with peers who are 5-7 yrs exp who does the work at same level of complexity as I am doing, but the thing is acknowledge each other by learning key facts from both, accept that juniors can do better than us and learn from them, and show the wisdom and share your learning's from experience, another key difference is the depth of vision developed over experience which will bring niche value to the team if applied it at right time and guiding the team to the right directions. "Now that this AI is also taking over" - don't worry about it, instead see how you can use AI to improve yourself and increase productivity and keep yourself unique from team

My teammates never get a feeling that I am old. tech leads who r not as skilfull, In every project, i first address their insecurity; especially if ur a top performer, you need to do that. All that client appreciation you get, give credit to teamwork and guidance of leads.

This topic is the need of the hour. I think you've struck a chord with many of us. Most of us are in a dilemma: Will people in their 40s who have learned new technologies be accepted for jobs at technology companies?

Huh smarter Juniors? Smart at words not at work. I have seen projects where code has to be entirely re written which are done by juniors. Juniors cant judge what's right or wrong to even copy paste from google.

Age is an issue, more in India. But its silently there outside india too. Because 1 job will have thousands of applicants, factors like age , (useless) degrees etc get used in India more. Age brings responsibilities so naturally higher pay expectations. Its obvious. A bachelor (of any age) can probably survive in much less.

Good point to consider for everyone

I don't think it has anything to do with the age but it is more to do with the kind of involvement you show at workplace. I have seen both side of coins. There are people who after a certain age stop learning and usually try to avoid any new challenge given to them. The problem is with such people. The Learning should never stop. If you are learning and being vocal during team meetings, most of people will actually respect you for your wisdom and knowledge.

First time i heard about this issue it means we have to accumulate as much wealth we can before 40 and need to invest in higher income returning assets.

Sir, Video is good. However these challenges arises firstly as the experienced people are not given the right roles and young people are given better roles. This is not a good change when compared to the traditional approach. We cannot just take excuse saying performance is the key for role selection. My strong opinion would be that the experience need to be valued and given better roles than junior to fix this challenge permanently. May be need to go back to the old age traditional approach.

Usually people over 40+ pursue MBA and settle in Leadership roles like Program Manager, Associate Director - Delivery, Engagement Delivery Lead, Portfolio Delivery Lead...

In a project in Oracle I have worked with a person in UK who started his career in 1986 and still going well. Age is not a problem but the mentality is. I have good knowledge on DW, EAI, big data and BI and machine learning and is fluent in all the above subjects. But still many younger generation finds it difficult to get me in the team. I left a organisation just for that. In client interview I showed them from management to devops delivery,but still not considered in the project. It was a new product development from scratch. That means blueprint designing. You have to accept it. Build yourself in such a way that the IT world have to look for you. I started learning bigdata when no one heard of it. Same with EAI and BPM. Now a days I am preparing my self for attending tests in UPLR, turing, crossover, and so on. They are tough interviews. I scored in interview in Toptal, but due to bad network the viva got smashed. These are all contractual jobs. But you have to be open.

The technology is shifting quickly and also the expectation is double compared to the last decade. The most important factor is that the employee size is shrinking year by year, as companies are finding ways to reduce the human labor with automated tools. So overall, do not pitch your career directly with IT sector and acquire some domain knowledge along with IT skills as an option to excel in other sectors, like manufacturing, production and retail sectors. The IT sectors may not sustain as a favorable job sector in future due to the growing trend of AI and automation. Unless you are a expert in technical problem solving skills do not rely on IT jobs in future, even if you are a fresh graduate. IT jobs are not for every one.

What is important is adding value . If a person adds value he should be in the team . Hence it is important that everybody develops skills and competence and the decision of taking a person into a role or a project is based on skillls competence and attitude rather than age

Age doesn't matter in IT. If you are competent enough to do your job, you will be acceptable. The problem is when you cross 40-45 years your brain seems to slow down and can't work as fast as when you were 25. So you have to work extra hard to break that barrier. If you can do that you will survive. Another thing is the salary. As you grow senior you expect to be paid more. But one should remember that the salary hike should be with respect to his/her performance and not with the respect of his/her seniority in the organization. So, the bottom line is stay competent.

I worked for one of banking us client. I was working with 55 yrs old software Engineer and most of them were 40+ yrs old

Job applicants are more in India than the jobs available. Managers prefer to hire a less experienced guy because of the less billing rate with extended working hours and on weekends etc. High experienced guy's billing rate will be high which affects the margin. So they recruit one guy with high experience and a bunch of developers around 5 years of experience. So more work is done at the cost of less billing rate, this also increases companies margin. When there are a bunch of developers available in the market for less pay why do they need 40 or 50 years experienced guys, even if they need how many they take ? So for 40+ guys it's hard to get a job in the Indian IT unless they work for peanuts. Of course few Indians are reluctant to upskill but not everyone.

Aged people are highly experienced in multiple technologies. CEO s must remove younger unscrupulous leads who have no team commitment. Also seniors may make a parity in their salary with juniors. May not ask for high salaries.

Please clarify my doubt is it hard to survive in IT industry between 30 to 40

Best way to get respect from junior's is to help them in critical task

I did same 5:16 and manager pushed it back. And no my style wasnt aggressive but people became insecure including my co-workers

Sir how you learn english can you make video on it

At this point I am hoping that even if I am to survive in IT by 40, I will be able to have decent savings for the rest of my life. I am 32 an currently saving 70-80% of my salary, not planning to get married and thankfully don't have any loans. I don't have a technical bent but manage to complete what is assigned to me withour breaching deadlines. One day at a time and hopeful.

All can't become manager.. they need individual contributors

It is misconception that Managers are superior than developers. Both are different skills and both have equal importance. I saw are managers are more worried to save their job than technical people as they are easily replaceable. When there is a change in higher management managers are first at risk. If you are technically strong Managers will be your friends to get the job done. Also here in US developers get more pay than their managers.

i work in Australia. Nobody cares how old are you. All they care is how good your quality of work. If you are a good programmer/manager/BA, they will respect you. Age has no significance specially in this work from home kind of setup.

Once a person ages his ability to take complex work goes down naturally esp. those roles that need to work 16 hours due to project pressures and weekend work stresses them esp. after COVID issues it is getting worse.
