#11. Does the age of a new developer matter?
These days, developers often have their careers delayed due to mandatory military service.
Therefore, 'age' can be an important factor in employment. However, is there a certain age limit for new developer jobs, and is it true that it's difficult to find a new developer job if you're older?
First of all, there are no age restrictions for developer jobs. However, as mentioned earlier, mandatory military service can delay your career start, and this may lead you to pursue further studies through a leave of absence, etc. to enhance your qualifications. However, to find a job as a new developer, you need to spend a certain amount of time studying or acquiring qualifications.
The longer this period is, the fewer opportunities you may have early on. Therefore, it can be said that being in your early 30s is appropriate for new developer standards. However, it's absolutely not true that it's difficult to find a new developer job if you're older.
Developers need technical skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities, and these abilities are not directly related to age. Therefore, even if you start late, if you work hard and learn the skills, it's entirely possible to find a job as a new developer.
In addition, developers can receive compensation based on their accumulated experience. Therefore, even if you are older, if you have extensive experience, you can find a job with higher compensation and qualifications.
However, simply focusing on building qualifications is not good. Developers need continuous growth and passion for development. If you build your development skills based on this passion and effort, it will not be a major issue to find a new developer job, even if you are older. In conclusion, developer employment is not related to age.
However, due to factors such as market conditions, competition may become more intense as you get older. Therefore, we recommend that you build confidence as a developer by putting in enough effort and passion at the optimal time, and building both qualifications and experience.
