I’m 30F and honestly scared about my future in tech.

I work as a frontend/web developer and I feel like I’m just average. I do my tasks, finish what needs to be done during my 8 hours, then log off. I’m not someone constantly building side projects, studying every night, or trying to become a tech lead.

I also don’t see myself becoming a manager or leader. I actually prefer being given tasks and just executing them well.

The thing is, I do like frontend development. But I keep wondering if companies still hire frontend devs in their 40s–50s, especially people who are not super ambitious or exceptional.

For people in their 40s–50s working in tech, did you ever feel this way? What did your career end up looking like?
