Software as a career

Is software industry oversaturated? Do you feel companies will discriminate with us once we hit 40+ age as more and more people are coming into it? I can see class 6 th and 7 th std kids are doing coding just like we had fad for jee classes. If there is oversupply of enggs. companies, whatever the fate mech and civil branches suffered, cs will bear the same. Should one go for mba( off course from top colleges) ?

I have pondered about this. It will not be saturated now what I think. There will always be need of skilled folks. IT Industry is going to be filled with both skilled and unskilled engineers. Have skill, sustain. Go freelance, join a startup, go remote. Ditch MBA.

I fear how they will treat aged people but that's the thing. Have backup options. 20 years is a good time to research and plan financials. Don't depend on IT job.

I too agree with this. Gaining skills apart from IT will also help in the long run😄

Imo in foreign countries, I see age people turning into engineers. Going for remote jobs is a good option where they don't judge on age.

Rest is bringing change in IT Industry which is hard.
