Do IT men over 35 still have opportunities for promotion?

There are still opportunities for promotion, because although promotion is related to age, the impact is not big. What really has an impact is your strength.

As the saying goes, talent is not a loss. As long as you are good enough and can handle the tasks assigned to you by your leader, and do it to your satisfaction, then there is no need to worry about getting promoted. , as for those additional factors such as age and physical condition, they are just some of the conditions for your promotion, and they are not worth mentioning in front of your ability.

I have a friend who is also studying in the IT industry in middle age. At this age, he may be a little more sentimental. He feels that his current job is not satisfactory no matter what he does, and he wants to move up to a higher level. But I lack self-confidence. I feel that I am too old and my grasp of new things is not sensitive enough. What’s more, IT is an industry that keeps pace with the times every day. I feel that I am really bad and far inferior to those who just joined the company. He was a young and energetic newcomer, so he took me out for a drink almost every week to relieve my worries.

Every time I drink, I tell him that he is actually very good. He has accumulated experience, and since he has studied IT, it means that he is very smart, because this kind of industry cannot be controlled by ordinary people. He can use his existing advantages to enrich himself, needless to say in terms of experience, but if he wants to keep up with the development of the IT industry, he needs to continue to learn.

At first he didn’t take it seriously, thinking that there was no point in learning so much at this age, but he couldn’t resist my persuasion and his desire for his own career. He started to study and read online every day after get off work. videos, bought a lot of books, and often attended some trainings. His hard work paid off, and his efforts finally paid off. Because he was able to solve the crisis every time the company's equipment or other things encountered some crisis, the boss saw it. After seeing his progress and seeing his strength, he kept promoting him, and now he has become the top leader of their company.

My friend’s incident is not an isolated case. Many people have also been rewarded for their hard work. These people include elderly people over fifty, disabled people, middle-aged women, etc. In our era, although Progress is rapid, but we still pay more attention to fairness. People with strength are often much better than those without strength, both in life and in society. The basis of strength is learning, continuous learning, and enriching yourself.
