I have yet to see anyone retire in IT/Tech sector. Is it because the sector is pretty new or I don’t know enough people? How many of your bosses/mentors actually retired and left the workforce?

You don’t retire from Tech these days, you get retired.

Technology is like a treadmill. You have to keep learning to stay relevant. Old knowledge is worthless. As soon as you enter management, your technical expertise stops. Many older workers get tired of learning and switch careers. Some get stale and are forced out.
