The Tech industry is notoriously ageist. If you’re subject to ageism at 50 in the economy at large, it’s more like 40 in tech.
That’s one of the reasons host Michal Juhas invited me onto his Top Tech Recruiter podcast.
As a recruiter and career advisor who supports senior-level tech execs, including many CTOs, Michael wanted to discuss ways older tech professionals can better maintain and sustain their careers.
The value of tenure in any field is the number of long-held professional relationships. When you reach a certain level of seniority, and Tech is no exception, your skills are only one metric of your value. Perhaps more importantly, your strategic insights and reputation as an SME (subject matter expert) will propel you into more and better professional opportunities.
Check out the podcast to learn more about how my 3 Elements coaching framework can apply to the senior Tech leader.
