> This website is filled with 30 and 40 year olds who rerolled the life dice into successful tech careers so it’s not too late. I'm not a 30 year old restarting my career but I restarted my programming career at 27 after pausing it for military service. A couple of notes: - I have not met very many people in tech that have lateral moved careers. I mainly sight them online. - This path was not easy and I would 100% not recommend it, especially if you cannot handle years on years of failure and insecurity in your face. - I would call tech a young person's game. Company behaviors, attitudes, and hiring practices reward youth and the energy that goes with it. Those considerations in mind, counting on rolling the dice on tech is not a good idea. For every one of these people you meet, I suspect there's a long line of people who didn't make it or couldn't tolerate the journey, and I don't blame them.
