Yeah ageism is a huge issue, even in early 30s, working as a regular programmer is met with suspicion and looked down upon.
Not only that, young engineers will be build whatever without questioning the value, business people prefer this. They dont want an engineer raising product questions
also, it is true that technology moves quickly, startups dont need experts in tech thats no longer bleeding edge. large old school companies still do, so the number of companies that are viable employers decreases
Feels a bit cynical. Raising questions is incredibly valuable for a company as long as it is done in a positive manner. It’s what they tell us is the main benefit to DEI, and you can tell whether they are serious if they include older folks in their program or not.
