maximum age for IT professionals

[Mguy]

One thing I learned in this business is that you have to evolve, if not, your career will stagnate.

I've been here for more that 2 decades na and started off as a programmer, eventually after there was a shift in programming style and languages, I had to veer away and started to act as a project manager, designing and implementing systems rather than writing them. I had some techie background and had the opportunity to become as well as a system administrator then head of operations. Now, support consultant for a software na ako. If I stayed as a programmer until now, I would be competing with newbies who are asking for much lower pay.

So, I'd suggest that you evolve to the next available career path for you.
