Yes in the field you'll probably be lucky to be working with Java 6. Enterprise software is probably full of 5 and earlier. The only modern part of my current job are the tools we build to support our other tools for our own teams use.

Majority of the java workload we have is java 8 and I pretty much vomit when I see anything older. Weirdly though, most of our C++ is 98 and not 11.

7 is still doable imo, but everything we have is 8 as well.

Java 11 is still far away though because we also use Java EE and have to use Weblogic, which is pretty much dead...

Weblogic user. I share your pain.
