This sounds like most careers, though. Except for the sensational language, how is this different than agism in the software industry, or folks who never become managers? In my (limited) experience, most people don’t climb the ranks or get major pay increases, especially during a pandemic like this.
- Proziam 6y agoThe agism you reference doesn't exist across the software industry as a whole. There's a massive demand for "old" folks who are familiar with technologies that are considered outdated.
- legostormtroopr 6y agoAgism in the software industry is only a big issue in the "startup scene", in industry its not as big an issue and experience software architects are always in demand, even if they don't become "managers". And even if you aren't climbing ranks, as long as you keep up your skills you can stay in a job in some places for a long time. What I am saying is that people who go into "camming" don't have that option. Eventually their audience will go away.
