My friend is having 25+ YOE in software development. He doesn't like management jobs. He wants to be in development related activities in his entire career.

How much it's possible? Upto how much age the one can hold development activities.

Most of the companies wants to handle management related activities too.

Till 65 years depending on company.

There are some conditions -
1. You will not be able to do this in service based company.

2. You need to be in product based company and your output or the scale of problems you solve should be good and you should have knowledge horizontally and vertically on the products.

3. It's not as difficult as people make it out to be. However you can never ever operate with mentality of "I am done slogging now I will relax, since I am a senior." You need to push and always keep solving problems and be top of everything and guide people with your experience.

It's rewarding for people who wants to be super intelligent and have a young mind even in their 60s.

I’ve been working as a data analyst for about 5 years, and I’m wanting to switch careers into SE. I recently finished a python course, and I’m unsure of my next steps. I’ve seen some posts about pros and cons of boot camps or learning additional languages but with my current experience, would either of these be a realistic path to get a job? Or would I need something like an additional degree to get my foot in the door? Any advice is welcome!

Copywriting or Art Direction? A question I truly wish was answered in portfolio school.
I wish I could be a hybrid, but partners don’t want that typically, and people won’t hire hybrids.
I’ve been told many times in school from teachers and peers that I had the skills to be a copywriter too if I wanted to. I felt like if I did that, I’d be wasting my talent for visuals and my knowledge of programs... so I stuck with AD. Still very involved in the conceptual stages (which is my strong suit)...
