I think it’s very different in tech where we are compensated quite well and losing a job doesn’t mean falling off the face of capitalism. Most of us are able to have modest savings but most Americans are barely hanging on.
- alecco 2y agoGood luck going past 40 in tech.
- localghost3000 2y agoI'm almost 50 and doing fine. Maybe that wouldn't be the case if I was less experienced though.
- scarface_74 2y ago50 here going strong and still an IC and I got my first job in BigTech at 46. When I lost my job in late 2023 I had three offers within three weeks including one that would have paid more than I was making - in cash - at BigTech. I didn’t want the stress and I wanted to get back to smaller companies. When I was looking again last year it all took 3 weeks to get the offer I have now. It only took that long to get scheduled for all of the interviews from an internal recruiter reaching out to me.
