I’m only 33 but I had 0 difficulty in finding employment, even a few months into Covid. However I’m also a ‘senior developer’ already, so there isn’t much room title wise to go in 7 years that isn’t management.
But that’s also kind of expected. As a senior developer, I can code faster and better than our junior devs but more importantly I can teach them to be better by reviewing their code. As I get older I am spending less time coding myself and more time reviewing others code.
A 40 year old developer is going to be telling stories of their first gig going through code printed out on paper reviewing it for a y2k bug… when I wouldn’t be surprised if 99% of this years college graduates never heard of y2k.
- aetherson 5y agoDo you local companies not have a staff/principal set of titles? They were once uncommon, but now I feel like most companies provide at least two or three levels beyond senior.
