I definitely don't mean to put you on the spot but have you seen much applicants over 30, or 40 year mark?

  These days, I tend to interview candidates for two type of positions: - interns/early career developers; - data scientists. Due to the junior nature of the developer positions, we rarely see anyone apply who is not fresh out of college or still enrolled. For the data scientist positions, however, the average applicant is older and I have both interviewed and hired people in their 30s and 40s. I believe that ageism is one of the most prominent "isms" in tech, so I try to do my part to prevent its continuation.
