Question by Sumit - Sep 21, 2024Hindi

Career

Hello, i have 26 yrs of experience in the IT industry, and currently working as a consultant technical manager for important projects in several drdo labs in Hyderabad for the past few years. Despite being handson in coding, system design, I am also responsible for team management, deliverables, requirement analysis, and stakeholder management. I have an executive MBA from xlri and certification from pmi. Being 54 years of age, what are my options? Are there opportunities for people in the 50s? How about remote work or freelancing opportunities? I kind of find myself stuck and would like to explore opportunities. Any ideas? how to stay relevant in this ever changing world of technology?

Ans: Sumit Sir,
54-year-old with a strong background in the IT field, high-stakes projects, and an Executive MBA from XLRI can still stay relevant and look for opportunities. You can try for freelance consulting, work from home, coach, mentor, and train businesses in Agile methods, stakeholder handling, and team leadership.

To stay current, you can move into academic or research roles as an adjunct professor, work on research projects with universities or think tanks, or start your own business as a niche consultant.

To look for opportunities, make your LinkedIn profile stand out, share stories or insights, actively network, upskill strategically, and build a portfolio. Being old is an asset, but it's important to use it as a unique selling point and be flexible to stay competitive. By carefully using your skills and experience, you can open up many good opportunities and continue to thrive in the ever-changing tech world. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future.

Asked by Anonymous - Jan 29, 2025Hindi

Hi I have 12 years of banking experience. I feel to quit the job because of high work pressure, target pressure , overtime , and no salary growth as well as no career growth. At this age of 35 what are my job opportunities.. Or any course which I need to pursue so that there will be better opportunities...

Ans: Hello
Reasons you have mentioned for quitting will be there in most regular jobs.
They only seem to disappear in case we work in our interest/passion areas. Hence you need to do deep reflection to figure out your intersection point of 'skill plus interest'.
Since I am not aware of your exact education/profile details, won't be in a position to recommend any specific path etc.
Please share details & feel free to ask further.
All the Best!!
