blessed to be in an industry where I can work till my 80s, and the older I get, the more valuable I become and the less work I need to do.

Hi,
I'm sap background, not FI though. But as you mention, you don't want (or don't have the skill?) to do IT related work like sap system upgrades, data migration, data mapping, 3rd party data integration, bank integration, which is like the majority of sap project works. I don't know how valuable is an accountant that don't specialise in a system...but since you have difficulty, I assume it's hard out there, since it's easy to get sap works especially finance.
I don't know your exact situation, but if youre single, there will be a time, when you just want to do thing without answering to people.
Anyway, good luck bro.

By right you should be financially stable and able to retire if no one hires you at the age of 50. At least that’s what I plan for.

Hi, no, just normal IT guy doing Sap (MM, SD). Sort of retired now. Circumstances a bit different so can choose to do something else.

Rant all you want, it show how arrogant u are. Most of the replies here agree with my statement, or at least questioned your network. I imagine you are not an easy person to work with. While u rant and try your hardest to justify your arrogance, I'm going to let u win in public forum. I'm not the one who open a thread in public online forum asking for a job anyway.

With your attitude, good luck working with gen z. They will cancel u right away. U may want to reflect on how u respond to criticism and harsh response. Sometime the problem is not with others, but within yourself.

hahaha, you sound like a very childlish person. I can hardly belief you are a business owner. "Most replies here agree with my statement", you sound like a boy trying to win who dares game.

I justify means it is arrogant? I justify means I am ranting? So are you saying, when a dude goes for interview, he tries to pitch himself despite doubts from his potential interviewers is arrogant? or when a lawyer tries to defend his client in court is depicted as ranting? or when a parlimentarian debates in parliament voted by you, is arrogant?

Also you haven't even provided any source or statistics to me, that people over 50yo are not able to adapt. I gave you examples like Elon Must at 53yo. You make childlish and sweeping statements and general statements about people over 50yo without a shred of evidence. Many of my friends in thier 50s are VPs, directors, business owners and high level consultants. What makes you think people above 50yo are redundant in the working place? They musta hurt you really badly at your workplace and you were hopeless in handling them.

Wrong ! Everyone around you will cancel you because of your behaviour, not me. Look at yourself in the mirror and within yourself. You could not even proof to me in my earlier post with source.

No, its not about winning here. Its about inception, I am planting in your mind, one day, this will hit you when you encounter this again and if you don't change, some older dude will hurt you because you can't handle people.

give me your points and source, else you just here to rant out your hurts. This is a forum after all.

Earlier I have issue at work. Everyday nightmare dealing with this fella difficult staff.

Want to change job, kept applying, but recently 2 employers at jobstreet rejected my application.

Then I bombarded linkedin with 30 applications, macam no progress.

Is life over at 51yo? Not sure why employers refuse to take me in. I am in good health, no high blood pressure. I know people as young as 37yo already kena high blood pressure. HR so particular with age meh?

I am an Accountant.

Why not try recruiter route. I'm sure you have lot of experience but two main things is ppl help their own kind and also how you show you can work with future employer. All that skill sets all is bullshit for most part. Most employer want to see if you can align with their leadership style.and goals.

If I got Person A , B and C who I can hire knowing they can do the job I want to hire a person who I can work with comfortably with my management style. My father indian worked till 70 so dont give excuse boss . 60 had to retire but because my dad integrity and reputation good he was continously hired till health decline. You can do it.

Even GM level no offense i belip your salary may not be that high compared to youngster esp if you work with Chinaman company.


Your physical health is immaterial if you not align with the company culture , race or management values.

At past 50,'its gonna be quite difficult to het a high paying job as before. Maybe TS can consider direct applying to those small privately
owned firms. Just get a job to build up retirement funds for the next half decade and then eventually retire from this bloody rat race.

I’ve read in the Jobs and Careers section where people having a hard time finding jobs after 35yo. Having said that, you will face more setbacks looking for a job at 51yo.

Heck even I’m finding a hard time looking for a new job too.

Maybe try customer service jobs? I see they are always hiring, which means it may not be the best options at hand. All the best, keep us updated on the job search.

You are dead end because you lack the skillset of a 51 year old simple as that. U been doing the same job for donkey years and as accountant you should know fresh grad is cheaper

U should be in managerial role or leadership by now and to progress further you use your contacts and cables after all this years of working mate

GM level cant handle a staff? Pffffftttttt.

At GM level u dont find jobs, but jobs come find u.

Regardless what ppl says about age, my company still many >50s actively hiring/resigning.

If u do not have connections or ex-bosses finding grabbing u to their company, the best way is joining startup companies.

I agreed wholeheartedly, OP Has issues with criticism, arrogance at it's finest, but as the old saying goes "You can't teach an old dog a new trick" Old people tend to have this mindset "I'm right 100% and you're wrong 100%" even if they're wrong, if they had known they were wrong, they refused to admit, instead they say "Orang tua macam tu la haha biasa la"
