[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am game to know about that ageism list if the earlier poster cares to share.[/quote] I am the PP. There wasn’t a list per se, but the example given to me was to imagine hiring a gray haired lawyer vs a gray haired computer programmer. I was 19 at the time, living in NYC, and it wasn’t yet clear to me that places that want you to be “cool” actually want you to be young. Lots of creative adjacent jobs work that way - your awesomeness expires at 35 regardless of how good you are at what you do. Basically, when you encounter a workplace where everyone seems to be <40, don’t take it as a positive, even if you are 25.[/quote]
