amen to that, older engineers would require higher salaries (due to the need to support family, to pay mortgage, etc.), and would not be able to put in the same number of hours. So if you can't demonstrate that you provide more values than the younger guns, why would an employer want to hire older engineers?
- refractiveco 10y agoIn theory the more experience you have the fewer hours you would need to put in. You've solved all the common problems engineers face 10 times before.

- tonyedgecombe 10y agoThey won't require older salaries if they can't get a job elsewhere, only because their skills are in demand and useful.
- spoonie 10y agoI'm sorry but having higher costs is not a good reason to ask for a higher salary. You can be young and still have a family and mortgage. An employee would be foolish to ask for a raise just because they bought a house.
