Google aside there is nothing worse than getting stuck at middle management in a software corp after 40 - 50. You are expensive, replacable and disposable.

- m0zg 7y agoOr before 40 for that matter. Middle management is miserable existence. That's probably why they get paid so well, to dull pain a little. :-)
- blub 7y agoOddly enough I've never seen managers complain about ageism or the difficulty of finding jobs later in life, but it seems to be rather common around here. So maybe there is something worse: bring stuck as a developer after 40-50.
- orthoxerox 7y agoMost older middle managers in my org get pushed out into PM roles.
- m0zg 7y agoNot at Google. Google has very few PMs in general.
