> I am in a business (non-tech) role and I really love this job and I also don't want to be fired. I am unable to find other jobs as surprisingly I am overqualified because of my age (35+) and work exp (15+). I am a manager but in IC role.
It sounds like you don't really know/understand what your job is, i.e. what your company expect you to deliver. Hopefully your PIP has very specific, actionable information in this.
If you're in a "business", "IC" role, how much business are you actually brining in?
Mid-career in tech is a tough period, try to use this as an opportunity to reflect and do some soul searching about exactly what your value proposition is. As you say, there is little demand for 15 years of work experience, and typically only management or highly specialized roles will see that as an advantage.
