I would rather work with "old" engineers rather than 25/30 year old "senior" engineers.
Places with older engineers means:
1. things are done properly
2. less to break
3. no need to be on call
4. excellent WLB (no grind n burnout culture)
5. excellent mentoring and learning opportunities
6. sniper / laser focus on business fundamentals / making money rather than making noise on the internet streets
- flustercan 1y agoNone of these things are related to age or amount of experience. Someone with 20 years of mediocre experience will be mediocre, and they may also have a false sense of their own ability because they've managed to scrape by for so long.
- pyb 1y agoAgree with 1-4, 5 and 6 not so correlated with age in my experience.
- thorin 1y agoWould agree with this to an extent, however most younger managers would not agree, as they are "agile" and have deadlines to worry about.
