Not me, but my father in law, located in the midwest, is a sql dev. He's about to retire in a few years, switched jobs a few years back. From what he tells me, they didn't care that he was going to retire soon, they needed his skillset.

Location probably matters. My (also midwest) company was foaming at the mouth for a competent Java/SAP developer (which, forgive me for being catty, seems like a technology only a 40+ yr old would fill) a few years ago, never found anybody, position was never filled.

The Midwest has a lot of age 50+ devs. Java and ASP.NET rule the land and it’s almost all B2B like hospitals and other large orgs that don’t want bleeding edge tech. For example, trying to find React devs in the Midwest proved difficult.
