I'm over 40 - I found myself suddenly back on the job market a couple of years ago when the company I worked for abruptly went out of business. I was only out of work for three weeks before I found something else. I keep current, though - one of the realities of this profession is that you have to keep learning, and you have to do it "on your own time", if you want to stay in it. Personally, I find that to be a reasonable trade-off, but I know a lot of people don't.
- _bxg1 7y agoWhat subfield do you work in? Size of company, languages/technologies, etc.
- commandlinefan 7y agoMostly Java, but I went from a small healthcare-based company to a huge entertainment company - there's really no similarity there.
- _bxg1 7y agoYeah; I get the sense that Java is one of the more reliable (if unsexy) domains to embed yourself in. It's really turning into the new Cobol.
