Hi Folks,
A funny question may be but would you guys have an idea of the usual age till which an employee can continue working in IT?
I'm sure nobody can work till 60, companies mostly ask employees to resign before that.

I can tell you about Capgemini only. There was a foreign client who was working at a good product based company and he basically was the god of database engineering with numerous certifi actions and experience in his plate.
He retired from the company at 60 years and he got a big farewell party as well.
He joined the company at 45 and didn't do any switch in his last 15 years as most of his responsibilities ,he had saved enough .
That was the only case I have seen.

Never seen anyone retiring from a It company but IT presence in n india is from last 3 decades so lots of thing yet to be found out.
It's a question for which I am looking for answers as well.

In infosys you can see people working for 24 years and 27 years straight...I was also shocked but they exist and do good job in holding the stuffs together ❤ 👏

I know they can't move everyone but they can do so for atleast some of the people they have decided to fire even after being good performers ...

There are so many people getting offers with more than 10-15 LPA in IT by providing fake experience & proxy interview support. Some don't even have a technical degree.

I totally feel worthless now after working 5 yrs in IT now. I worked very hard, got admission in top college, studied very well there & got an offer of 10 LPA during clg placements.

I know in India unemployment is at peak but getting employed in illegal way doesn't do justice for hardworking people? Any thoughts over this ?
