[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are there these periodic random posts about ageism in this forum, that seem to be from the same person, with little detail about any actual case? Right now, being an older worker is an advantage. It's young people who are having a hard time.[/quote] It’s hard to get your first job out of college, but after that it’s much easier in your 20s and 30s. 40s seems okay, but then 50+ is a bloodbath. I’m in my early thirties and regularly got interviews after I was laid off but I see former older colleagues 45+ really struggle on the job market. Six months emergency fund is not enough, I realized if you’re older, you need one year.[/quote]
