At 33 I think we definitely have an age problem, but not just in tech. I think all of America has an age problem in wanting to hire younger people who will work harder, longer hours, cost less, potentially use less resources such as health care, and can be disposed of for even younger workers down the line. Older workers are perceived as wanting more money, and will not meld with a younger workforce. I've seen this constantly. Six years with a major defense contractor. Any time my group manager would hire, he would shred anyone who graduated from college before 2000. I think the tech industry exacerbates the perception of younger over better, but it's a nationwide problem.
