In IT, there's no strict retirement age. Many work till 60 or beyond, but staying updated is key for longevity in the field

As we know that in cricket the usual age for retirement is around 3335 max, what age or number of years of experience do you think is kind of the upper limit for IT guys in India?

Is it really hard to survive in IT sector India after 40plus age ?

Software Developer

I have this question constantly coming in my mind. Why do I feel like people who work in software vanishes around age 45. When I look in all companies I have worked I have never seen anyone who is in their 50's. Even if I see they are only handful. Where are the other people who joined with them? In other industries Inam able to see a lot of people above 50.

Asking for people who feel contended with what they do and how much salary they draw.

Why won't Indian IT companies allow a person to play the same role till retirement? Other sectors allow this. Even in US, I have seen people working as developer or tester or DBA at the age of 60.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I am curious to understand how the future looks like. For now, I think we have a clear aim. Most might not want to startup as they are well satisfied with solving other's problems. But come to think of it, I have not seen much ppl above 50 years of age in the IT industry.

With  90's and 80's generation slowly inching towards that phase, how do you guys think it will shape up?

straight question : do we have a chance?

Folks, what does the future (after 50+) hold for us, the IT professionals (Dev, Design, PMs, etc) ?

Product Manager

Planning out finances, hence this question. Also, we are the first generation (in most families) to retire from this sector. What is the age of the most senior employee you know in software. Hardly only 10% make it to the board/senior levels. How about the rest? And can we really take on this kind of stress and work after our 40s and compete with the younger generation?

What is the typical retirement age in the software industry?

Product Marketing Manager

I was curious, that what will happen to the people who are right now working in growth, program managers, or in fact as business analysts, SDEs after 15 years.

 I am 25 Years old right now, and all I can see is people aged between 21-30 in startups. 30-35 year old people are less than 5% of the workforce. After 10 years, all my age group people will be 35, and all the roles I see at that age, are too scarce. 

Will it be too difficult to switch jobs then, or career, hikes will kinda stagnate there? 

Want to know from other experienced people that where does the crowd go?

What after 15 YOE?

I am close to 15 years ex. So probably i can answer i guess. In my area of work, i see all the less experienced folks not much capable in understanding the whole picture of business for creating roadmaps and strategies , cannot do stakeholder management much and moreover do not understand failsafe situations . That way i feel my job is safe. I can also do the job which my 2 year experience person does and in a better way and can also work like my manager who is probably 20 years experience and lead the teams.  
 As long as one is technically relevant , experience is a boon for orgs.

Software Project Manager

While the starting salaries and salaries at <10 yoe have really sky rocketed and this is good for the ecosystem, wanted to understand what happens to salaries in tech/product post 15 yoe+. 

I’m curious about this especially because it doesn’t tie up with income tax data. Assuming seniors leaders in tech and product would be making 1 cr+ easily and most of these would have formal streams of income that can’t be hidden easily, income tax department reports only around 1.3 lakh individuals (2 year old data though) who had taxable income above 1 cr. Even if the number has risen to 2 lakhs now, it still doesn’t tie back to the stories here of many people making above 1 cr.

Is the income tax data wrong or are the salaries plateauing at around 80-90L or have people found some amazing ways of saving tax. Just curious!
