[quote=Anonymous]How’s his skill set, and is it up-to-date? Ageism is real, but if you have in-demand skills, age is much less of a barrier and may not be a barrier at all. I’m 56 and 2 years ago I was recruited (wasn’t looking at the time) by a place you’ve heard of and respect. I recently submitted an application for a managerial position at a different place, and I’m interviewing next week—doesn’t mean I’ll get the job, but they apparently didn’t toss my CV in the trash. IMO gig workers, especially on the IT field, are a bigger threats than H1B workers today. These are the people on UpWork who get contract work and the employer doesn’t have to pay benefits to them or give them office space. Of course, while he’s waiting, your DH could check out UpWork too—they use accountants, IT workers, and so on. I believe there’s even a gig platform for lawyers, but I don’t know the name[/quote]
