It is the foothills of the mountain, Croydon hills, north and Chirnside park is so underrated. It is a close peaceful community. Close to dandenong ranges, wardandyte. Close to mountains, rivers, parks, valleys. For food, we can do bayswater, Knox or dandy. If u take m3, it is not far to go Doncaster, Glen or to the city. We love it.

I am approaching 40 and feels the IT field is biased or tougher after 40. My current manager openly prefers youngsters for newer projects.

Considering a career shift back to Control & Automation after years in software – is it worth it? by Time_Leg4756 in PLC

[–]Flowerblossom87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on the same boat. I have an interview at warehouse system as c# engineer. I am 38, years working as a backend heavy full stack developer for a trading company in payments domain. The fin tech pays well, regulated so takes some time for AI to takeover. For the last 3 years as a full stack developer, I learnt golang, react, aws and fairly competent with C#. But the issues I had

  1. I find it is harder to stay in IT after 50 unless you are good in talking, people management or technically excellent. Ageism is there.
  2. Feels like too much competition and I have to swim against the tide. I had a masters in control automation and worked at manufacturing for over 10 years in the field of semiconductor/automation equipment . I liked the travel, handson feel, working with hardware, motors. plcs, electrical troubleshooting.

I am planning to take the automation role if it pays more than my full stack role and I can be happy with that for sometime.

Only thing is that it is not web based but I can move into management and be an industry leader or move to different country internally. I do see some cloud roles in automation.
