I’m turning 41 this year.

Joined tech industry pretty late (31 yo) with non-STEM or tech background. Now I’m L6 senior at AWS for a tech role.

My career is not super impressive like others here, I make $200k, but I enjoy my job.

I want to hear what other folks in their 40s/50s/60s are doing with their career. Thank you for listening!

    38 here - tech lead at a small firm - started when I was 30.

    Trying to break in to tier 1 FAANG (even though everyone on blind trashes them).

    I make ok money, bored of my job and have big fish small pond syndrome. I want to duke it out with top dogs in the industry just for self curiosity.
