I'm not 30 yet but I'm close and I am unemployed and a career switcher. In my previous profession (medicine) I was always inspired by people who switched into it later in life. I'm one of the strange ones who switched out of medicine into something else. You have to be really humble as a career switcher. The advantage is you typically are much "wiser" than the average, eg. better work-life balance, career goals, etc, and have a lot more real-life examples to pull from for behavioral interviews.
@bobby, thanks for this! was just contemplating CSS variables yesterday (Sass) and reading that regular CSS added them. now if CF had a lesson on how to do MVVM compared to MVC...
Answer about the recession, I just asked this question, and here is the answer I got. Apply to any industry involved in food and daily need amenities, they will be hiring. Are local supermarkets HEB hiring like crazy. Whereas some other tech companies laying folks off or doing hiring freezes.
I’m 47 started my career change into web dev during Covid (2020). Self teaching, have portfolio. Still applying, call backs are rare. It’s hard to break in.
Oh and I just finished a course on Wordpress and php. I need to add that to my portfolio I feel in my area a lot of companies are also using CMS either Drupal or WP.
I am 42 and unemployed. I’ve many years experience in customer service. I want learn to code, I am also ready to move anywhere (I am Italian) I’ve just started by myself learning HTML and CSS. I am a absolutely beginner but I am enjoying it. I want to enroll to a full time bootcamp. Any suggestions? Italy it’s quite close-minded about that.
My opinion only. My assumption is most people over 40 are not unemployed, they are most likely underemployed or never built a sustainable career. This may the last chance to switch careers, while somewhat healthy.
It's a metaphor. Some people view 40 as really old. We do not. Some people few 40 as too late to change careers or learn to code. Hence the reason for the card.
This is me. Finished 20yr Navy career now learning to code at 42. Thanks! Glad to hear
Lucky you, you found these fellas. They know neat things about development and programming.
Thank you for serving our country and have fun programming!
Hooyah.
Best of luck!
i'm 61 and starting new from scratch in web dev training
Wow. I am 49 and feeling like old and not wanting to work any longer. I definitely need a kick in the ass
I started learning to code at the ripe age of 36 and got hired at 39 all the hard work was worth it, actually life-changing. Great video.
Great to hear!

Completely agree

Thank you sir❤ Great advice
Always welcome
What about someone who is trying to break into the IT sector and their 62 years old?

What type of projects do you have on your portfolio?
Oh and I just finished a course on Wordpress and php. I need to add that to my portfolio I feel in my area a lot of companies are also using CMS either Drupal or WP.
@@Dt-8398 i think sir you have work more on js and typescript those are so important in web development also HTML and css

In times of a recession companies will fire the high paid employee and higher low-paid employees
If I'm doing coding just for the stable career and monetary reward, how do I hide that in an interview when asked why I switched careers?
That is not a bad motivation but also make sure that you speak That you really enjoy it as well.
Unless you are good at exams, don't do it - each interview will consist of an test similar to a degree level exam, with a 100% pass requirement.
You absolutely can train for interviews. Don't be dismayed. People do this every day.
@@CoderFoundry I have 25 years dev experience, and have done at least 100 interviews- I still fail 95% of interviews
Then you must start studying the questions you are asked to improve.
Im starting to learn C# with unity, is that a good career?
Which one is better, learn how to trade the forex market or learn web development?
Web development is more stable and predictable. I know nothing about trading in the foreign market.
Both 😃
The guy in the thumbnail is 40 years old ?
Lol I am kidding, thanks for the video man !
Yeah, we meet people who feel 40 is too old to start. So we made the picture as a metaphor how people feel about 40
@@CoderFoundry lol pretty clever
Bizarre to have a thumbnail of an 80+ guy when talking about 40’s

Dude 40yr olds don't look like that bro!
He never took the time to touch grass.
