In this video, I shared the reality of IT Jobs after 40 years. The reality of Corporate job in 30s or the reality of IT Industry after 40 years age is that you will face many new problems in your corporate job or IT job after hitting the age of 40 or 50. IT sector job reality is often not presented very clearly to new IT Job aspirants who are looking to build an IT Career through their first tech job. This video will tell you why Senior IT Managers are not very well off compared to younger IT Employees. We know the reality of IT Job for young IT Employees, but if you decide to reach the age of 40 or 50 in the IT Industry then these are the problems you may face.

The harsh reality of IT Jobs is that it is not good for employees at any stage of their careers. IT Sector news will tell you that apart from being hit by Layoffs 2024 and within it the IT Layoffs 2024 and Tech Layoffs 2024, many senior IT Managers are also resigning, The reason for this is explained in the video and why the reality of IT Job for senior IT Managers is often not well represented in the media. IT Job after 35 years is difficult to pull off, even if you manage to do an IT Job after 40 age, you will stand many career risks because of the changing reality of IT Jobs and the harsh reality of IT Industry in general.

In past I have made videos on the future of IT Industry, Layoffs 2024, future of IT Industry in India, reality of IT jobs, why Indian IT employees do not get equal support and respect from foreign clients among others. I believe that indian IT Industry is here to stay for some time but the Indian IT employees need to evolve and learn the changing market dynamics if they wish to stay relevant in the future. The relevant and useful IT industry news from this point of view and also the business insights from IT Industry share news can help IT Employees take better career decisions.

The purpose of these vidoes is to share the right information and perspectives with the IT employees to help them make the best decision for themselves in the future. Career growth in IT Sector can be very appealing if you understand these tradeoffs and then make a calculated decision for yourself. Various risks associated with doing an IT Job after 30 years, or IT Job after 40 years are shared in the video. The reality of IT Jobs after 30s is not very different from the reality of corporate jobs after 30s but there are some features which are unique to the harsh reality of IT Jobs which many employees do not know about until they reach a particular stage in their IT Careers.

For more videos about IT Industry News, IT Sector share news, Reality of IT Jobs, Reality of IT Industry, Tech Jobs, IT Jobs, Career Growth, Corporate lessons, and upskilling, reality of coprorate jobs, reality of corporate world, do follow the channel. Hope you find this video valuable, see you in the next one.

there's a book called whispers of manifestation on borlest, and it talks about how using some secret tehniques you can attract almost everything in life it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal

[monzurhussain]

Midlife crisis is something every IT professional will undergo during their 40’s. I am already into it. It’s common to lose motivation but keep pushing. All the best.

I'm a 58 year old developer on 130k. I started off as a developer in 1999 then took a job as a systems support technician in 2006 (worst decision I ever made).
In 2017 I was made redundant from that job and decided to get back into writing code, because that's where my passion has always been. Only problem was, the world of development had changed massively since I'd done it back in 2006 and it was massive mountain to climb to get back across current trends. I'm still climbing that mountain.
4 years later, after a lot hard work, and offering my services as a developer for free with a charity, I landed a job as contractor, which turned into a highly paid permanent role.
You have to love what you do, and, most importantly, you have embrace change and have a passion for learning. As well as being prepared to put in the hard work and hours it takes to get across new technologies. That's the key to it.

sorry to tell people here
people's in their 30's to 50's with IT and a topmost Job are having some type of ailment and we can see many private hospitals packed with them if you visit a doctor.
Fastfoods/ day today activites / Loans are the main culprits which spoil your health.
I request all working professionals to atleast eat 2 Nutritious Meals twice a week.
Heart attacks and Cancer is on the rise
as a Medical professional in Bangalore I reommend that you change your life style to eating Ragi Mudde - Kozhi saaru and Soppu with Rice to avoid Much Gas.

Hey man, don’t loose your faith. I’m 57, and on my last project (1 year ago) I worked as solution architect for $140k on W2. I watched the market and spent some time to practice and take certification (Salesforce) for that cloud and I took a job. At 40 you are in top shape, you have a hands on experience and so much energy for next endeavors.
P.s. I wrote my first code 40 years ago, and don’t think I’m not tired of endlessly learning and certifying, but can’t see myself driving truck or working as plumber (I respect those positions of course, just want to say I still like this f..ng IT 😊

My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to pay off our mortgage early. We were both still working, and took the payment amount that we had been using to pay off our mortgage faster and we put it straight into investments. We were able to retire early because of almost 7 years of putting away what would have been our mortgage payment as well as maxing out our 401K/403B plans. Thankfully we were taught by both of our parents the value of living within our means. Thank you for your advice. I know it will help people. we are interested in investments that could set me up for retirement, I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?

[javastream]

There is a saying: "If you think that an expert is expensive, wait till you hire a beginner! "

I just retired from IT as cyber security engineer at age 65. Part of the trick is to see the next big thing and learn the required skills. From a mainframe tech to a desktop guy, to a sysadmin to a cyber security engineer. 1979- 2022. Now retired, with my home paid off and some rental property. This can be done!

[kiranbondili]

IT is not for everyone, I have seen many people move from Engineering backgrounds to IT during my 20 year career just for good money, the folks who have passion will survive and continue to make more money. Been in US for 18 years, work as an IT Architect for a manufacturing company, been through the 2008 financial crisis, survived all downturns just because of exceptional skills. Don't take suggestions from losers, keep your skills up to date and you will stand out from the crowd. Even if you lose your job due to layoffs, you will find one in just few weeks. Don't let your self down ever. One last thing, try to get out of services companies, you will never get the credit for your work nor you will make good money.

Most of people working and settled abroad feel like only India service providers treat clients as 'god'. When my team talks to the third party vendor based in Romania/Poland they do their work usual and never fear to tell 'this cannot be done'. That is the major difference which I realised after working 15 years in UK.

[aravindm.]

Very relatable video. This statement "Client is God" is like prayer for Indian IT service companies.

[nagesha]

This is exactly what an author is said and he has written a book also ‘ Be so good that they can’t ignore you’, another book era of average is over book . We can’t avoid, look at how investment bank have become, they have been laying off and hiring IT guys to automate anything and everything. This is the reality, love or hate it you can’t ignore it. Any technical professional need to understand how to ride any technological wave either cloud technology or machine learning or AI wave . The era of learning 4 years at university and spending rest of your life doing same is over in 2010 when cloud computing came into the market . We need to accept and move on and understand what needs to done rather then CRIB and CRY about how good it was in 2000 or 1995 etc

[syedqadir]

One thing i am silently noticing in office cafeteria, there are very much less people in 40s and not a single person found in their 50 except ceo and directors.

[HE]

It seems like there are so many problems in IT. It's why I just remain a bus driver. In bus driving, I don't have to worry about getting laid off, I don't have to worry about bad economy, A.I. being disrespected, or taken for granite. Regardless of what happens, there will ALWAYS be people who need to get from point A to point B, there will always be people who don't have car, and there are SO MANY companies hiring DESPITE the economy to where I don't have to put up with b.s., in being taken for granite, jump through hoops, nor any of that. Plus, it's good pay, fun, I get to meet a lot of great people, see great scenery; I get lots of time off, days off to where I get to travel overseas sometimes. In fact, I'm in Peru right now! So, these are reason I avoid IT. IT is great pay too, but look at all of the B.S. that you have go through!!! And now, there's A.I.

[LarsBahner]

This is in no way what I experience. I'm 56 but still going strong. Still learning. Then again - I would *never* *ever* stay in a job where I wasn't allowed to play and learn new things, That's what keeps knowledge fresh and relevant.

[iam-raheem]

that's ok guys, ppl working till 40's or early 50's already earns a lot of money. move out of IT & start something fun on your own. those days are gone where ppl retire only at 60. be GEN Z :)

[ps]

you don’t owe your co anything. Give them 9-5 and use the free time to figure out how to manage your finances, future plans..

[saravanavel]

In my opinion, upskill is important to survive in any industry. People have to ready to learn new technologies and upskill themselves. Career transformation is also play a important role to sustain in long term.

[balkrishnapatil]

True words man 👏👏 instead to give 10-12 hours to company daily . Give that time for your own startup, not in 1 day but 1 day you will achieve everything then freedom is yours only

[lobo-]

And here I am trying to get into IT at 31😅😄
