[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GenX here.

Your Baby Boomer parents are finally, maybe retiring. They should have retired years ago

GenX should be in those roles, and now we finally are. We're in our 50s.

If you think you aren't old enough with enough experience, it's probably because you aren't. It's not imposter syndrome. There simply aren't enough GenXers to replace the Baby Boomers.

Elder Millennials are getting a chance earlier than GenXers. [/quote]

This. I’m mid-50s and still all the managers are in their 60s. I know I’ve been ready to move up for years and there’s just no opportunity. I might retire before the Boomers do cause I can’t be bothered to wait for them anymore![/quote]

Where do you work? are you in the gov't? I am in the private sector and most of the execs are in their 40s or early 50s. The money is good so most people can cash out by their 60s.

OP - I know what you mean. it is strange to look around and think "wait we are in charge now?" My old college roommate is the CEO of a large company, another college friend is a big deal in Hollywood and created several hit shows. i am nowhere near that successful but still I manage a team of about 10 people and it seems like only yesterday I was a clueless intern.
