I'm in my 40's have been with the same company (FAANG) for over a decade. I'd say a majority of the management (including engineering) is in their mid-30's to 50's. It looks like the entirety of the senior management in engineering in my org is in their 40's.
There are fewer individual contributors in their 40's, but I know several (some moved from manager back to IC, others stayed IC).
Maybe this is a bigger issue at startups, where the founders are in their 20's?
- spookybones 5y agoHow many 40+ are recent hires versus having been with the company 5-10 years?
- smugma 5y agoI'd say the many/most have been with the company 10+ years (low attrition!). New hires are generally younger, but new hires that are more senior (IC or Manager) are generally older. That's not surprising, is it?
- jnwatson 5y agoI have similar experience at a FAANG. We have a good mix of 20 somethings through 50 somethings. Part of it is that FAANGs have explicit IC ladders, so you can advance without being forced to manage.
