I would rather work with "old" engineers rather than 25/30 year old "senior" engineers.
Places with older engineers means:
1. things are done properly
2. less to break
3. no need to be on call
4. excellent WLB (no grind n burnout culture)
5. excellent mentoring and learning opportunities
6. sniper / laser focus on business fundamentals / making money rather than making noise on the internet streets
Would agree with this to an extent, however most younger managers would not agree, as they are "agile" and have deadlines to worry about.
