The same experience that once made you valuable can, over time, get interpreted as expensive, too senior or too set in your ways.
But relevance is not about being younger. And it isn't about knowing every new tool or trend. It is about being able to connect what you know with what matters now.
✅ The problems you solve.
✅ The perspective you bring.
✅ The way you work with changing teams, technologies and expectations.
That requires staying curious, updating your skills and being willing to let go of ways of working that no longer serve you. It also means making your value visible. Don't assume people will connect your past achievements to the problems they are trying to solve today.
Experience gives you the advantage. Relevance is how you keep it.
