At 32, this worries me. I’ve already begun to plan for my eventual exit from tech.
When friends nudge their kids in the direction of building skills or a career in tech, I try to find ways to let them know how I look at our industry - a somewhat lucrative place to spend the first 15 or so years out of college, but sadly not a place to build a sustainable, lifelong career.
I wish that weren’t the case, but it seems to be true. Our government needs to step up and hold companies who have a dramatically skewed employee age distribution accountable.
- humanrebar 9y agoI've seen plenty of people working well past 40. Lots of them don't work for "tech" employers, though. They write software for defense contractors, banks, insurance companies, etc.
