Asking for a friend. Would you feel intimidated/unwelcome in tech as a junior programmers at the age of 30 as a minority female?
I’ve seen folks join after grad school and they’re pretty close to 30 and fairly junior. It’d be climb but doable I think
No. All you need is the analytical skills. Rest is easy to learn
No as long as she is open minded. I know someone who changed his career to tech in his late 30s. He's always been telling me that he's having a blast because there's always so much to learn.
Definitely doable. If you are analytical and hungry for learning new things, it's not too late. There are quite a few people who joined tech later in life. They tend to have a very good attitude and maturity, and tech is fresh for them. Finding the right team that will make you feel welcome matters a lot.
Its never too late. Just start out as an analyst and work up to manager then director. It’s a pretty fast transition if you know what you’re talking about.
Asking for a friend...
I have two colleagues who are 30+ and have joined us as SDE1 from boot camp. It was initially difficult for them from what I heard as all our team are < 30 years and our manager is 27. But as time went be that never became a thing of concern as per them.
no
I started as a DS 1 at 33. Depending on dress and attitude, people might assume you’re younger since everyone else around is so young.

How to save India from destruction?
Yeah, I'd feel intimidated. Esp, w/ people younger as senior devs. It's possible though. They'd just have to own who they are and what they want out of life.
