You're kidding right ? We're not footballers or athletes.. at 45 I feel like I only really started to approach the top of my game in the last 10 years and I've no desire to ease up or stop learning. There's an age bias that is quietly unravelling predisposed on IT as a whole being a young industry rather than because young people are better at it.
- ryandvm 3y agoFunny, at 46 I daydream about retiring every single day and finally escaping the pointless churn of modern software "engineering".
- ponector 3y agoI'm 30 and daydreaming every single day to quit IT. But I don't know anything else with such high salary, so I'll continue pointless job
- ghaff 3y agoIf I were hating my job at 30 with no prospect of things getting better, I think I'd at least ask myself whether maximizing my salary should really be my priority.

- ghaff 3y agoHaving savings is a good idea in general. But that's not necessarily an argument for staying in a career you hate so you can make a bit more money. Maybe it's just a particular job. But people do also choose careers that end up just being a bad fit. If that's the case, you're probably better off changing horses sooner than later.
