If you haven’t kept up with technology, you probably have.

That’s harsh. But it’s not meant to be judgmental. I’ve told the story plenty of times how I became an “expert beginner” by the time I was 35 (I’m 48 now). I was still doing VB6 in 2008 when it was discontinued in 2001. It was until 2016 (at 42) that I had any type of “lead position”.

All you can do now is upskill and get current. I couldn’t spell AWS or “cloud” until 2018 (at 44) when I first logged into the console.

My first job at any company you have ever heard of was 2 years ago.
