50+ yo with 20+ yrs experience /u/lt_ligma23 CSCQ protests reddit
My dad is a 50+ yrs old and has 20+ yrs experience in the IT/SWE industry. He worked at one company from 2000’s to 2021 and then got laid off during Covid. He then got a job at a known but little prestige company as an IT director (from my understanding, it sounds like this is more of like a principal manager/M2 role). My dad doesn’t like to talk to me about finances or his work often but he is worried that after his project ends in January, that he will lose his job. He found a job very easily through a connection when he got laid off in 2021, but is now very stressed that he’s too old for the market. I wanted to know if anyone else has been in this position or has any general advice about being older but experienced in this job market.
Edit: his current role seems mainly managerial position and not technical but I do know that he works heavily with GCP
