- johnwheeler 10y agoHi everybody - I'm the author of the website https://OldGeekJobs.com https://OldGeekJobs.com. The writer who wrote that story for QZ in a haste got the facts wrong. 30 isn't old, and it's somewhat an insult to people having a hard time getting jobs. She somehow got the idea that the person who tweeted this is me: https://twitter.com/OpinionatedGeek/status/776509403675652096 https://twitter.com/OpinionatedGeek/status/77650940367565209... She used it as a quote in the article, but, that's not me. I sent her an email to change it, and never heard back. I'm 37, which is a little older than 30, and yes, jobs with startups are actually getting harder to be had when you're interviewing with 20 year olds in Silicon Valley. That's why I created OldGeekJobs.com. It's a place for employers to post jobs under the impression older people will apply thus making applicants feel safer. It's open to all age groups though. -Thanks
