Hightech : Calculate an end

Only 12% of new employees in high - tech are 50 +. Much of the workers over 40 are finding new roles in software
The problem of older workers in high - tech is a painful and familiar problem. Is reflected mainly over the age of 50. Harder to find work in high - tech companies beyond that age. In such cases the candidate takes more time to change jobs than younger candidates. In other cases, an employee becomes a high - tech manager eventually professional or business manager, and then encountered another problem: The pyramid is narrower, so there are fewer roles appropriate demand exceeds supply. Niche recruiter Group, which specializes in placing employees of Hi - Tech, has tested for us at what age working in hi - tech were obtained in 2010 to a new workplace. The data show that only 12% of the workers hired were over the age of 50. Certainly given pessimistic, however much better situation in the ages of 40 to 50: 37% of those who found work in high - tech in the past year were in this age category. Another statistic we wanted to check is if workers find jobs over 40 hi - tech. 42% of older workers find jobs in software work. 14% find a senior. 16% find work positions in marketing and sales. In contrast, fewer workers can be found in System, qa and hardware over the age of 40. 

"In the high - tech has matured"  

Paul Zucker, CEO of a niche group, says that the myth Hi - Tech belongs to only and only for young people no longer valid: "In the high - tech has matured very cooked in 10-15 years. A decade ago the prevailing view was that there is no adult in high - tech, but the young of the 90s, which had begun their way in high - tech, now approaching age 40, in accordance with changes of opinion and high - tech industry is intended only for the young. "What for, there are still professionals in high - tech suitable mainly young population. 40 years old software engineer would be hard to work in a society where entrepreneurs are young people 25 to 30 head of his team is 28. But even within the world of start - ups variability exists. Companies Internet media employ more young workers, but you can see older startup companies - medium and large, in communications, enterprise software chip. "

- What other cases have a preference for older workers? 
 
"There are cases of young entrepreneurs but enough are aware of the importance of hiring a responsible adult, or venture capital funding the company aware of it. It can be seen in company with young entrepreneurs and CEO-age or vice president of sales with white hair. "There are young entrepreneurs who understand that to be successful need an experienced person who can build an organized sales system - someone who can meet with clients in large organizations sell. On the other hand, some companies prefer the sales manager, a role that involves many trips, there will be a family, because it may disturb" . 

"A high rate of people 40 and older in marketing and sales" 
 
- The data indicate that 42% of 40 or more workers in software and 16% in marketing and sales. "Software is a big wide area, so apparently is unique not only for ages 40 +. There are many employees in general. Even under the high rate of people 40 and older in marketing and sales does not surprise me. These roles you need more than adults, those who have sales experience and can stand alone and sell. "

- How can we explain that 37% of the 30 to 40 found work in 2010?
 
"It could be that more people are turning to niche, these ages. Could be even more people these ages hi - tech. The fact that high - tech is mainly cultivated aged 30 to 50 is not surprising." 

- So where your taste lies in the difficulty of older workers in finding jobs? 
 
"Workers aged 48-50 find difficulty in finding senior positions. The employee costs through the ranks, has a hard time to find a new job takes him longer to integrate. "There are companies who would rather take an older engineer with fewer years of experience, if he did not show a desire to advance management positions over the years. Affirmative case with the potential to be an engineer, who has some years experience and express more desire to move forward, at least one other wants to move forward".
