[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both of us were pushed out, 51 and 54. Techies. Had a 10 and 12 year old. Outsourced to India in one case and new younger hire in another. Took DH a year to find something at 30% lower salary and I haven’t found anything yet. [/quote] Our story almost exactly. His is 45% less salary. I am jobless. 50, 48.[/quote] That's disgusting. Now 48 is too old?[/quote] By 35 you start being a bit long in the tooth in tech unfortunately.[/quote] Wow! So is that not a good field to get into? Or can you use the skills elsewhere? [/quote] So should my DS who is majoring in Comp Sci at UMD look into another field?[/quote]
