Was talking to some folks.
About being old.
Anyways 42 now.. at crossroads of career. Most at 42 prob have 1 more shot at doing something in life before:
- hiding at a company hoping u dont get fired hoping u got enough retirement
- moving up the exec ladder which is the only place safe as an old man in this world
So at 42 I wonder what is the move..
1) Stay w/ the bank and move up slowly... though this bank is dying. it would take forever
2) Try a move inside banking and float the resume (no hard I will do it)
3) Make a move outside banking and re-start a career
Hmmm... some way 42 isn't too old. 50 is too old.
I been saying to 32yo coworkers u should try something new. To 40yo I usually say stick it out.. but 40-60 retirement is a long way to go.
Anyways not sure what my plan is. But I am getting weak... that is for sure
