Sadly if you aren't on a management tract by 40 you're opportunities will be come less and less. Theres only so many Sr Engineers or Architects a company needs. For some reason companies don't mind hiring a hand full of managers for every one Sr engineer. From startups to big companies I've seen this to be true. Just throw a bunch of younger engineers at problems and solutions that are designed by one or two sr engineers.
- Karrot_Kream 9y agoSometimes I feel like software is an army of the blind leading the blind. Senior Engineers with 3 years of experience, that enter management the moment they can score 5 years of experience, combined with an attitude that Senior Engineers/Architects are too expensive, mean that a bunch of slightly experienced engineers lead teams of absolutely inexperienced engineers. And these green teams lead death marches to creating Javascript apps to get the next cloud-mobile-web-social _disruption_. No wonder nobody wants to go into computer science.
