Question to experienced and senior folks here, age 33 plus, if given a choice would you leave your current high paying tech job in private for a stable confirmed govt job till the age of 60 but somewhat lesser salary and growth. Are IT jobs sustainable beyond 40 years of age, now with AI as well coming into picture.

Absolutely not. Even if AI usurps your job, the pay is so high that if you save judiciously you can retire early. Sure your foreign trips and vacations will go down to zero, but isn’t that the absolute worst scenario? A private company employee will never be able to adjust the mind numbing rut of a government job. Nor the shameless sycophancy required to get good transfers/promotions

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
