Anand Vaishampayan

I interviewed a 45-year-old professional last year.

Brilliant experience. Strong communication. Clear thinking.

But the moment we started discussing role expectations, he paused and said something I did not expect:

“I just hope I’m not being compared to 25-year-olds. They learn faster than me now. I don’t know if I still belong here.”

For a second, I didn’t know what to say.

Because behind that one sentence was a decade of silent fear.

The fear that many mid-career professionals carry. 

The fear that experience is becoming irrelevant. 

The fear that younger, faster talent will replace them. 

The fear that their best years are behind them.

But here’s the truth most people forget:

A 25-year-old brings speed.
A 45-year-old brings wisdom.

A 25-year-old knows tools.
A 45-year-old knows outcomes.

A 25-year-old executes tasks.
A 45-year-old avoids million-dollar mistakes.

Skills can be learned at any age. Judgment cannot.

And companies don’t pay you for certificates. They pay you for reducing risk, increasing clarity, and delivering consistent results.

So if you’re 40-plus and worried about competing with younger talent, remember this:

You’re not competing on speed. You’re competing on depth.

You’re not competing on new tools. You’re competing on problem-solving.

You’re not competing for approval. You’re competing with your own potential.

Experience is not old. Experience is leverage.

And the market always values people who can bring clarity, calm, and direction.

Think about it tonight.

🔥🔥🔥

Every role has a season. Every company environment has a limit to what it can give you. Staying beyond that doesn’t make you loyal or patient, it just makes you smaller over time.

And here’s the part that matters most:

Realizing you stayed too long doesn’t mean you failed.

It means you’re finally paying attention.

That awareness is not the end of your story.

It’s usually the beginning of the next one.

And sometimes, the hardest apology at work isn’t to a manager or a company.

It’s the quiet one you make to yourself
and then decide to do something different.

Do you agree?

🙏 🙏🙏

Someone once said: You spend the first 10 years building your career… and the next 10 years trying to protect your health and time from it.

When I heard it, I laughed.

Then I realized it wasn’t a joke.

In our 20s, we chase momentum.

Late nights feel normal.

Weekend work feels like dedication.

Travel feels exciting.

Stress feels temporary.

We think energy is unlimited and careers need constant acceleration.

But somewhere in our 30s and 40s, the conversation changes.

Sleep starts to matter.

Silence becomes valuable.

Time feels expensive.

Health becomes non-negotiable.

You stop being impressed by job titles and start valuing peace.

You stop caring about being the busiest person in the room and start caring about being present with the people who matter.

You realize growth isn’t always about climbing higher.

Sometimes growth is learning how to say:

“No.”
“Not now.”
“That can wait.”
“That’s not worth my energy anymore.”

Ambition doesn’t die.

It matures.

It shifts from proving yourself to choosing yourself.

And somewhere in that transition, work stops being your identity and becomes just one part of a full life.

Today sit with this thought for a moment.

Building a product is great. However if you have not thought about how people will use it operationally it's a big disaster!!

Thinking the operational angle upfront helps you build the product better and if it would even work or not.

A lot of times products are built, however  without thinking of an actual user or operational challenges that's where adoption becomes a challenge.

Do share your inputs, basis your experience or if you have anything to add!!

It's Simple so let's do it. Sometimes people see short term success, but not the long term impact. 

Though I am myself a big believer in explaining things simply, so that it's understood well. 

However when it comes to picking up an approach, we should always be watchful if it's taking more time to do it right spend that extra mile or have a plan of phase 2 eventually to get there else in the long run it would just require a full re-architecture and extra time and effort in migration activity too which is never planned for.

So do what's right not just what's simple, without thinking about future.

#choiceswemake #technology #architecture #leadership #shagun2020

A lot of time is sometimes wasted in discussing things, rather than actually actioning it!!

Evaluate what you are discussing is already understood and now requires action rather than debating further!!!

Life is simple when you solve things vs just planning it alone endlessly.....
