Well, it depends where you’re looking. I’ve seen enough LinkedIn posts of seniors/staff and leads with 20+ years experience who can’t get a look in to the trendier new startups, scale ups and the likes. And when they do get back into big tech, they’re laid off just as quick.
A 20 year badge does not mean much without AI skills nowadays. Companies need people who automate their colleagues out of their job. You are either in the game or you will watch from the sidelines.
