Ask HN: I'm turning 50. Do I still have a career in IT as IC?

My 50th birthday is near now and I'm enjoying my career in IT as an individual contributor (IC) as much as the first day. I love learning and love problem solving. I love creating systems with a group of intelligent fellow devs.

But can I still jump companies easily ? Will startups take me in? Do FAANGs hire such old ICs?

I'll try anyways, but I'm curious about your perception and experience.

Thanks.
