Don't be scared. Instead, learn to have more compassion on others while you are young. Join a Union. Keep improving. And consider moving into management later or start a small business in your late 30s.
- thomasahle 12y agoWow, I'm trying to imagine what that age distribution curve looks like. It must start out pretty heavy, and then have a super hard drop right after 40.
- bostonpete 12y agoWhy? A bit more than half the company is under 40 and the average age is slightly under 40. Seems like any sort of distribution could yield these sorts of numbers.
- artmageddon 12y ago> And consider moving into management later Should this really be necessary to stay in the industry? What about those who enjoy being hands-on with code?
