1. They have made enough money in their 20 years of career in IT industry. If they were above average Software Engineer then consider their average salary as $100k in last 20 years and that is $2 million they earned in last 20 years. If their spouse is also earning, then it is extra income.

2. They have made investments in 401K and stocks which has grown substantially. Some have bought land or rental property and earn passive income. In short, They have achieved financial stability in their life. They are less liked to get worried if company layoff them compare to young people in 20s and 30s.

3. If they are married with kids, they are likely to spend more time with family after 5 PM and different kids activities in the weekend.

4. If they still working as Software Engineer (or Senior) and they are above average, consider their current salary from $180K to $250K, depends on the company. Plus equity + benefits.

5. They are mature enough to handle different people with different temperament.

1.他們在IT行業20年的職業生涯中賺了足夠的錢。若他們是高於平均水平的軟件工程師，那個麼考慮一下他們過去20年的平均工資是10萬美元，也就是説，他們在過去20年中賺了200萬美元。如果他們的配偶也有收入，那就是一筆不菲的財富。

2.他們購買了養老保險，投資的股票也大幅增長。有些人購買了土地或租賃房產，賺取固定收入。簡言之，他們在生活中實現了金融穩定。與20多歲和30多歲的年輕人相比，如果公司裁員，他們更不用擔心。

3.如果他們已婚並有孩子，他們可能會在下午5點後花更多時間與家人在一起，週末會有不同的親子活動。

4.如果他們仍在從事軟件工程師（或高級工程師）工作，且收入高於平均水平，那麼考慮一下他們目前的工資從18萬美元到25萬美元，這取決於公司。加上股權+福利。

5.他們足夠成熟，能夠應對不同性格的人。

6. They don’t get offended easily in petty things in the office. They have seen all kinds of people in 20 years so it is nothing new for them.

7. Handling production issues or handling the chaos in the office, their experience help them to sail smoothly compare to young inexperienced people.

8. They have good grip on office politics. They know what to document, when to document and how much document the things and what not to document so that senior management come look for their help.

9. They keep learning new technologies and keep upgrading themselves with certifications. One of my coworkers did AWS Architect certification at the age of 55 and he joined Amazon as Architect at the age of 57. He is my inspiration.

10. They regular hit to the fitness center to make sure health remained the highest priority. People after 40 are more likely to be conscious about their health compare to young people in 20s and 30s.

11. They are more active in retirement planning than they were before 10 years.

6.在辦公室裏，他們不容易因小事而生氣。20年來，他們見過各種各樣的人，所以這對他們來説並不新鮮。

7.在處理生產問題或處理辦公室的混亂時，與沒有經驗的年輕人相比他們的經驗能夠幫他們順利應對。

8.他們深諳辦公室政治。他們知道要記錄什麼，什麼時候記錄，記錄多少，以及什麼不記錄，這樣高級管理層就可以來尋求他們的幫助。

9.他們不斷學習新技術，不斷通過證書提升自己。我的一位同事在55歲時獲得了亞馬遜架構師認證，他在57歲時加入亞馬遜成為架構師。他是我的靈感來源。

10.他們經常去健身中心，以確保健康仍然是重中之重。與20多歲和30多歲的年輕人相比，40歲後的人更有健康意識。

11. 他們比 10 年前更積極地進行退休計劃。

回覆Keyur Patel

Didn’t answer the question. What they do over 40 is no longer work for good companies. They tend to go to companies that hire seasoned engineers. Old dying tech companies, eBay, Cisco, etc.

沒有答到點上。他們在到了40歲就不再為有前景公司工作。他們去那些傾向於僱傭有着豐富經驗的工程師的公司。瀕臨破產的科技公司，例如eBay、Cisco等。

Shelf life of people in IT industry is pretty small as compared to one would have thought in late 1990’s and early 2000’s. During those times we used to see people in late 50’s under active employment in IT industry and holding senior management position. This led us to believe that a career which starts at 22 lasts till 62.

與 1990 年代末和 2000 年代初人們想象的相比，IT 行業人員的職業壽命非常短。 在那段時間裏，我們經常看到 50 多歲的人在 IT 行業積極就業並擔任高級管理職位。 這使我們相信，從 22 歲開始的職業生涯將持續到 62 歲。

However given the speed at which IT itself has changed in past 20 years, for majority of us it gets hard to survive post 42. You may not be young enough to have energy to work 16 hrs a day or fresh enough to have same grasp of programming fundamentals as you had 20 years back.

然而，考慮到過去20年中它自身的變化速度，對於我們大多數人來説，在42歲後很難生存下去。你可能還不夠年輕，沒有精力每天工作16小時；或者沒有激情，無法像20年前一樣掌握編程基礎知識。

So career usually ends by the time you reach 40’s. You may not be productive enough for companies to hire you for a programming role. The mid/top management positions are increasingly becoming fewer and fewer so there may not be many opportunities left for you by that time.

所以職業生涯通常在你40歲時結束。你的工作效率可能不足以讓公司僱傭你擔任編程角色。中層/高層管理職位越來越少，因此到那時你可能沒有太多機會。

So by the time people reach 40, they probably do one of the following:

因此，當人們達到 40 歲時，他們可能會這麼做：

1.Hold on to their management role. This does require lot of soft skills.

1.爭取做到管理層。 這確實需要很多軟技能。

2.Become consultant in an advisory role. This again depends on your people skills.

2.成為諮詢顧問。這同樣取決於你的人際交往能力。

3.Become consultant in a technical role. This entails that you are hands on programming and have kept yourself abreast with changing times.

3.成為技術顧問。 這需要您親自進行編程，並讓自己跟上不斷變化的時代。

4.Be relevant in your organization. It again depends on your organization, if it is a tech focus company with ample opportunities to try different things and make money doing it, you have an easier time. These are typically product based companies. However if its mostly a service provider, being relevant gets difficult.

4.從事與組織相關的工作。這同樣取決於您的組織，如果它是一家以技術為中心的公司，你有足夠的機會嘗試不同的事情並通過這麼做來賺錢，那麼您的時間會更輕鬆。這些公司通常是基於產品的公司。然而，如果公司是服務提供商，那麼很難做到如此。

5.Finally you somehow did realize that your shelf life would only be till early 40’s. You have planned your financials that way and saved enough to retire by 40, and did plan for some alternatives which you would enjoy doing and also make some money from it.

5.最後，你turnaround意識到你的職業壽命只到40歲。你已經這樣計劃了你的財務狀況，攢夠了40歲後退休的錢，並因此做了另一些你喜歡的選擇，從中賺錢。

So yes if you are sure you can be relevant in 40’s there is a stable career ahead, otherwise plan in such a way that you can retire by that time. Whatever your options may be you need to plan that in your late 20’s.

所以是的，如果你確信自己在40多歲的時候有一個穩定的職業生涯，那麼你就可以這樣做，這樣你就可以退休了。無論你的選擇是什麼，你都需要在20多歲的時候制定計劃。

Hope this helps.

希望這條回答可以幫助到你。

The people with good attitude and skills become project managers , directors and vice presidents. Some remain as consultants. if you have lesser skills and poor attitude, you may be managers / PM in smaller companies for a lesser salaries.

I know of a few who are still team leads and developers. They will talk pages to explain why they are so without realizing what was lacking.. If they had realized they would have been in a better positon.

具有良好態度和技能的人成為項目經理、董事和副總裁。有些人仍然是顧問。如果你的技能較低，態度較差，你可能會在較小的公司擔任經理/項目經理，薪水較低。

我知道一些人仍然是團隊領導和開發人員。他們會講幾頁紙的話來解釋他們為什麼會這樣，卻沒有意識到真正缺少什麼。如果他們意識到，他們會處於更好的位置。
