What about startups founded by "old" people? Wouldn't they like to work with people of their own age group?
I think if I were 25 and launching a startup, hiring somebody twice my age really might feel a little bit weird.
Maybe this alone could explain it - if people only like to hire people who are younger than themselves, there would be fewer places willing to hire the older you got.
- wccrawford 16y agoThe owner of my company is a only few years younger than me and that feels -weird-. I suppose that when I'm 50, it won't feel quite as weird to work for people younger than me, but the bigger the gap, the weirder it's going to feel.
