[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ageism in tech is real, but you don't see that as much in DC. A lot of what gets called ageism here is really hesitance to hire people with insufficient experience given their age. Sorry, but if you're over 50 and haven't advanced past lower-mid level, people are going to look at you funny. It doesn't matter that the 29 year old has the same experience as you. You've had a lot more time to advance yet haven't, and that sets off alarms.[/quote] Ah yes silicon valley, if you aren't a millionaire by 40 obviously you are a loser. In any complicated enterprise, experienced level headed employees have value even if they aren't in upper management. It's not just knowing the syntax for the language du juor. Algorithms don't change that fast, and good design does often come from experience. [/quote]
