Most of the conversation in this thread is around engineering, IT, and whether grey hairs code better than non-grey hairs, and whether there is an ROI vis-a-vis money and time. I'll add a few things about Sales. Through an acquisition, I spent a few years at one of the largest enterprise software company. As a PM, I interacted with a lot of grey hair sales professionals--right from Key Account Directors to Sales Ops to Sales Engineers to National Account Managers. These were some of the finest. Thanks to their mentorship, I have not measured, but in 2 years, I became expert at navigating the buyers of software at large companies, doing calls, replying to RFPs, handling exceptions, and to a certain degree schmoozing. Who else would you learn these from? Sales is not taught anywhere!
