[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, well all my relatives were laid off by 53 and never worked again as professionals. [/quote] I think one of the factors when you get into your 50s is a perceived (by potential employers) gap in understanding technology. I am 56 and routinely help my millennial colleagues figure out advanced functions on their iPhones. But if I was laid off, how would I eliminate the perceived risk of not keeping up with technology? I am picking up a few cloud computing / SaaS certifications just as a backup / demo that I am still capable of keeping up. [/quote] Same, I'm 50 and while not a developer level of expertise, I am a digital native far beyond most in my field. No idea how to insulate from being aged out. Certs are fine I guess... but I feel recruiters don't even look once you get to a certain age.[/quote]
