25 yr old fresh Comp-Sci grads are way cheaper to employ than a 40yr old with 15 yrs experience. I see these types of interviews and hirings as straight up Ageism and cost cutting measures, without actually having to say 'Only college grads apply'.
- aswanson 9y agoI've seen well qualified candidates turned down by ageism. At a prior company, I was in a group interviewing a guy, and a manager said, after his second interview, "I just didnt see the passion." It's sad but true in tech.
