Retirement age 40

Retirement age 40- Grapevine

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

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?

Will most of the people will lose their job because of age factor? Younger workforce will throw out most of the 40s workers?

Job at the age 40

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

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.

When I joined corporate world  in 2012, there were many 45+  and some 55+ folks among us..... 

Gradually I have been witnessing slow but steady change in demography.... After 10 years, I am rarely seeing any 55+ folks...and noticeable reduction in 45+ folks. 

My prediction is AI will make this slow change very steep in next 5 years and we would rarely see any average  but highly paid 45+ folks

Is unofficial retirement in corporate world decreasing year by year?

Wanted to say Hi, what do you do, how do you see current phase of your life, how do you look at your career so far, and what do you plan to do in next 5 years, etc.

Any 40+ Grapeviners here?

Referring to the FIRE thread from a few days ago. I don’t understand the people who aim for 25CR as their retirement target. 

The truth is very few are realistically going to get to 25 CR by 40 or whatever your FIRE age is. I don’t doubt you can get there by 60 at all. 

But that’s just how the career pyramid is stacked. 25 at 40 is hard. Accepting this is realizing that one of the important aspects of retiring early is being realistic with the end goal. 

Just my 2 cents

Confused by 25 CR FIRE targets

Analyst

I have my senior managers who are 32-33 and are making 1cr+ per year.
What do people do at the age of 40 or 50
Is there a scope for further salary increments or role increments?

Unless someone works at a company like HUL, what is the future?

As a poll pointed out most people on platform are from 25-35 age group. We saw the tech bubble and are riding the wave comfortably.
What are your thoughts tech industry and job opportunity post 45. My plan is to get FIREd by that time but curious what roles if any do you take on at this age?
Do we all take up as managers and become the thing we hate?
Any scope of still remaining an IC and getting paid a similar income?
I have been mostly working in startups and the oldest guy I have worked with was 37 and I am generally see very few old people in tech, though I have 0 MNC exposure.

All professionals go thru this dilemma when they are nearing 50 . They are actually wiser and more experienced but it has become a taboo that if you are touching 50 and aren’t already a business leader then you have lost the plot . Your current organisation does not value you and feels age is a barrier to growth . And external companies who are hiring want younger leaders . So experienced people who have seen various ups and downs , weathered so many storms and have the deep rooted knowledge and experience … what do they do ahead ? Everybody does not have money to open their own startup . People say do a course , enhance your skill sets . After that what ? Can somebody share sites or forums or groups where such high experience guys can try for jobs . Because for many many of them “ picture abhi baaki hai dost “

50 years age and still going strong as a work professional - Kya picture abhi baaki hai dost ?

Business Development Manager

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.
