Well, at my place I'm the "older" guy wanting to innovate :) I don't think either NIH or not wanting to innovate is an age thing. It's a mindset. Plenty of young people have that as well. Plenty of older innovators.
- itchyouch 10y agoThere are a couple of older innovators in management positions as well. The guys who really want to innovate and make a difference have gone to other places unfortunately. I guess we are merely left with older guys who are comfortable. Being in "regulated" finance makes for a lot of guys who have golden handcuffs. Great salary and benefits and no strong desire to ruffle the bureaucratic obligations placed on them. A very common theme is, "Hey can you work on this X feature? Would be really useful." "That sounds like a great idea! But sorry, I can't unless there is a billing code dictated by the business for that idea"
