Any person, young or old, should steer wide of telecom which is a capital intensive business subject to large bo-m-bust cycles resulting in ever present layoffs and dead end careers. Ever since the IT people took over in the early 2000s, it's been an endless rip and replace operation and a meat grinder for anyone employed in it. You'll get worked long hours for stagnant pay then kicked out the door on a whim.
Good advice from @qq+1kpkaw8fk.
Good advice. It's a saturated market with the big 3 simply swapping customers.
@an
You mean four.
This is good advice. I will never get back into telco. I have worked for all three throughout my career and they are all the same!
While telecom is more specialized, this is the tech world in general in today’s world. Younger people definitely would be wise to get into a trade. Corporate greed and the adoption of AI or at least the attempt to implement it isn’t making it a fun time to have to be employed.
