> You don't want to hire someone who has been working as a chief architect for the last 10 years. It's not about their age. It's about the fact that they are way overqualified That's not necessarily true. Maybe they burned out and want a less stressful role. Or maybe they've cashed out and are looking for a job they would enjoy and can afford to not worry about the paycheck. Frankly, job titles can also be pretty meaningless. If I saw a resume on my desk for a junior role with somebody with senior experience I'd probably ask them "why are you looking to move into this role?". I wouldn't rule them off outright, because I understand that people's circumstances often change, and not everybody is driven by a career trajectory that's constantly moving upwards.
