I just turned 60 and I am still working as a software engineer. I live in the Netherlands. In the past decade, I have been working 24 hours per week on average. The past two years I worked on an application that is used only within the company, which is a mechatronics oriented company. I am closely working together with process and application engineers and over the past two years, I have developed quite a lot of domain knowledge. Some of my younger colleagues definitely are better at some software engineering tasks then I. Although I have no management responsibilities, I do coach some of the younger software engineers in an informal manner. I have saved enough to quit working and I noticed that my requirements for work have changed. The working environment is now the most important aspect. Some seven years ago, I suffered a mild burn-out due to toxic working conditions. Since then, I twice changed jobs. I am not getting a top salary, but it is enough to live a quiet and happy life.
