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

Software Engineering student a bit lost in terms of the different fields how can I explore my interests /u/Colfuzio00 CSCQ protests reddit

Hello all I hope you are doing well. Like the title feels a feel a bit without direction, I’m 24 a completed my bachelor’s in IT about a year and a half ago I focused on web development, and while I’ve been working as front end developer I enjoy it. However I want something more interactive or hands on. I really dislike anything backend but I have forced myself to learn the fundamentals.

I don’t know what other areas exist I currently am enrolled in some pre reqs to get into a software engineering masters. I’ve looked into Embbeded systems and while the basics have seemed fun, it’s obvious that such would require hardware knowledge and electronics and you have to be very invested in it. I like what I’ve done so far run some C code to light up LED’S , calibrate a photo resistor etc but this just basics. I found a masters program online that has a concentration in embbeded systems and a concentration in human computer interaction which I read about to my understanding is kind of like UI UX engineering? I would like to learn more about what other visual or hands result based software engineering fields or jobs out there. Before commiting to something as intensive as embbeded. These are the programs that Im considering. One is at my local university now UHCL The other in Michigan. Thank you for any advice in advance!

Am I getting laid off? Need advice please /u/Impressive_Space_291 CSCQ protests reddit

Am I getting laid off? Need advice please /u/Impressive_Space_291 CSCQ protests reddit

Hi, for context, I just joined this company 4 months ago, so I’m still new. This is a WFH setup, and out of all the offers I received, this one had the WFH option but came with a slightly lower salary compared to the others (though the pay is still good considering it’s remote work).

Last July, while I was still in training, the company announced that our client (the one we’re currently working with) is not renewing their contract, effective November 1. However, they will still retain some of the services we offer, but we don’t know which services those will be yet. They told us not to panic as there won’t be any layoffs, and that the client might reach out to us if we want to join their company.

I have weekly 1-on-1s with my manager just to catch up. He told me not to worry because he knows I’m super anxious, being the newest member of the team. He reassured me not to panic, since we don’t have all the information yet and that we’ll still have our jobs.

Fast forward to last September: the client confirmed they won’t be reaching out to hire anyone. So, our company said they’re creating a contingency plan in case our client doesn’t renew any of our services. There are 7 of us on the team, and if the client doesn’t renew, we won’t need as many people. The contingency plan is that some of the tenured team members will be approached by other teams within the company to see if they want to join (kind of like a promotion).

I had another 1-on-1 with my manager last week, and this time it didn’t feel as hopeful. Back in July, he was telling me not to worry, but now he’s talking about contingency plans in case things go sideways. He said my future is in my hands and I can always apply for other jobs.

What am I supposed to think about this? Is this a sign I’m going to get laid off?

We have a meeting with the VP next week to check in on the client and their plan, so I’m hoping we get a clearer picture of what’s going to happen. If I do get laid off, I’m so terrified. Joining this company might be the biggest decision I regret. Also, they’re still hiring because one of us already got promoted. They’re filling the gap left by my colleague who moved up.
