Silent Desperation! Working in 40s and 50s

How the current SDE1 and SDE2 will get accomodated in IT industry in future. Hear me out. Currently lets say there is a team of 10 members in one of the IT company. Lets say 4 are sde1, 4 are sde2, 1 is sde3, 1 is teamLead. Now in future since higher positions are very less, how these 4 sde1 and 4 sde2 will get accomodated. In past years, for those who are currently at manager+ positions, when they were sde1/sde2, at that time number was low, so they got accomodated easily in growing IT demand. But now it seems there are already too many IT companies, seems very low probability that count of IT employees in total of India will even increase by 10-20% in next 5 years. Every year lakhs of IT engineers are also getting graduated. They can get that sde1 positions, but what about current sde1 and sde2 ? Do we need to find another career ? Whoever comments, please explain in detail your thoughts. Need some discussions to decide future career path.

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.

Are you a first time manager or do you have any questions around workplace productivity, team management, culture? Ask away!

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

Hi folks, I have been part of one company for 9 years. I feel like bored and mundane. I am trying to switch jobs for past one and half year and unable to crack any interviews. Each interview slips because of some reason. Now my current company based on my performance asked me to find job somewhere else within in few months.. I am still unable to clear interviews.. Sometimes feel very downward because of this but deep inside I feel like I am more worth than this.. Market is also so uncertain now.. My salary is 32L.. I feel like I am stuck in my career. Any advice or recommendation?

Is anyone else facing difficulty finding a new job? I have been trying for 2 months to no avail

Feel this is such a crucial story. The possibility of holding sufficiently dignified jobs in your 40s and not getting replaced by genz

As a software engineer with over 1000 connections, including hiring managers, I've reached out to 500+ individuals for a job, but to no avail. It feels like I'm begging for a chance while facing silence or inappropriate advances. The reality is stark: despite qualifications, opportunities are scarce. It's a grim truth for IT newcomers, where hope is fleeting.

Salary 24 + 3 Exp : 10+ years PSU Bank : 5 Years MBA break : New IIM ( Not baby IIM ) Own Startup : 2 2 Small companies : ( 6 months+ 2 years) : PM and Post Merger Integration. Now 6 months as Business Architect in Stock Exchange Mistake I did by joining a small company with 12 lpa as I need money after my failed startup and COVID happened at the same time. Need genuine suggestions for switching jobs. How it will impact my career path. As I am looking for 40+ lpa which would be decent for me ( i might be wrong )

I have been applying for new positions since March and haven't got single interview call. I have 3 years of experience and currently working in service-based company. I reached people for reference and got referred to some companies but still no response. I want to blame market but I see people switching daily.
