Let me phrase it this way - it's very difficult to find software dev/eng older than 33-35 and the only career path for them is middle management (i.e. distributing tight budget over undemanding workforce). The employers notoriously complain for not being able to find "specialists".
- scarface74 9y agoThat's only true if you're looking to work for one of the cool, hip, startups. There are plenty of older devs working in boring corporate jobs that are not interested in changing the world. I'm one of them.
- expertentipp 9y agoThat’s corporate jobs I’m talking about. We refactor and support that awful ASP.NET web app written hecticly 10 years ago by some hipsters, we develop products for markets which are not so profitable or prestigious. There are almost no cool hip startups and those existng are not worth attention because they pay peanuts and usually are just proxy for cheap labour. I think we are talking about completely different job markets.
