After what age does it get difficult to switch companies? I feel I am far behind people my age in terms of compensation (as I had other priorities in my 20s). I don’t mind being slow but don’t want to stop growing at all. Genuine answers please.

Doesn't matters but requirement decreases of higher exp people until you are exceptionally well in your skills.

In my personal experience, beyond 13-15 years, the opportunities are limited due to the typical pyramidal structure of any organization. There are fewer needs and that too are mostly filled through personal connect and networking. My 2 cents.

I switched after 16 years and attended only 3 interviews and cleared all 3. I got around 10-12 calls 15 days before joining other org but didn’t bother to attend interviews. So if u hv the skills and knowledge nothing stops u from switching. But, yes once u cross 20+ then it becomes little difficult

I’ve been interviewing for new positions to leave PA. But in my current position, we’ve been adding quite a few new projects (and our team is partner, two staff, and me) that will probably start over the next couple of months. I don’t think my boss has any idea I’m looking to leave - anything I should do to not feel guilty about potentially leaving them short staffed with a ton of work? Is this something you think about when looking to leave?
